South Pole is an Antarctica podcast exploring the science, wildlife, history, and human stories of the world’s southernmost continent. Hosted by science communicator Clark Marchese, each episode features conversations with the researchers, historians, explorers, policymakers, artists, and conservation practitioners working to understand Antarctica and its global importance.
Travel from ice shelves, glaciers, and Southern Ocean ecosystems to Antarctic wildlife, climate change, sea level rise, and the remarkable research made possible at the South Pole. The series also examines polar exploration, overlooked histories, literature, tourism, environmental law, and the Antarctic Treaty System that governs the continent.
