In Fifteen Million Years in Antarctica science journalist and writer Rebecca Priestley tells the story of her visits to the 'wide white continent' that started in 2011.
With a lifelong interest in the place, a fascination for the science that's being done there, and awe at its landscape and wildlife, the Antarctic also becomes a theatre for her own anxieties.
Some about the physical act of getting there and others about our planet's future in the face of potentially catastrophic climate change.
