With winter making itself felt across Australia, we’re heading somewhere even chillier... all the way to Antarctica. This week, we’ve dusted off an old favourite that explores who lives and works on the coldest, windiest and driest continent on Earth. Find out what scientists are studying, how Antarctic expeditioners survive the long, dark winter, what they eat — and why even a two-minute shower can feel like a luxury.
