Exploration Untold - special show with UK Polar Network and the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust
In this special show with the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) and the UK Polar Network, meet three researchers each of whom will offer us insight into Antarctica’s scientific past. We take a new look at the heroic era, at the early days of the famous Halley station and reflect upon the stories of those whom are not usually given the spotlight, but whose contributions have been vital to our understanding of our planet.
