Summary
Today I'm talking about the deep south of the world, with conservation biologist Dr Louise Blight – whose book of that title is published today. The work – part science, part adventure and part travelogue – is subtitled "A Story of Penguins, People and Place in Antarctica". Louise told me about her time on Ross Island – and the emotions of life taken to extremes. This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter.
