Antarctic Extremes
There is a new YouTube Internet series called Antarctic Extremes which you can find at https://www.youtube.com/pbsterra.
This 10-part series, each episode about 10 minutes long, will take the viewer to locations near McMurdo Station to explain some of the scientific research and logistics of the U.S. Antarctic Program. Launched in late January 2020, a new episode will be released about every two weeks through the spring.
The three-person team who created this 10-part series, Catlin and Arlo in front of the camera and Zach behind the camera, visited McMurdo in October-November 2018. The episodes are aimed at youth – fun, quirky and short enough to, hopefully, get them interested enough to dig deeper into learning more about Antarctica.

Available now, a special podcast "White Silence"! The complete story of the Mt. Erebus disaster.
On November 28, 1979, an airliner took off from Auckland Airport on a sightseeing trip to Antarctica.
There were 257 people on board. hours later everyone was dead.
Somehow, the plane had flown directly into the Erebus volcano. This was a disaster that shattered a country’s psyche.
In the decades since, grief gave way to blame, anger and recrimination. Who was responsible for so many deaths? Was there a cover-up? How could a plane just fly into a mountain?
In White Silence, Michael Wright and Katy Gosset explore why New Zealand’s deadliest disaster was also its most controversial; why a nation was incapable of moving on; and why it was captured by one famous phrase: ‘an orchestrated litany of lies’.
