Voice of the Sea Ice 02 | Antarctica's heartbeat

9h ago 28:48

MP3•Maison d'episode

Step out on the sea ice just outside New Zealand’s Scott Base with researchers studying the physics of its annual cycle. Each year a massive patch of ocean around Antarctica freezes and then melts again come summer – Antarctica’s heartbeat. In winter, the ice effectively more than doubles the size of this already massive continent, and it plays a huge role in controlling our planet’s climate.

Guests:

Dr Inga Smith, University of Otago
Antonia Radlwimmer, University of Otago
Professor Wolfgang Rack, University of Canterbury
