Demystifying Antarctica: What we’ve learned and what comes next

In this Manchester Lit & Phil online event, originally broadcast in April 2023, Professor Helen Fricker shines a light on the wonders of Antarctica. She describes the physical processes which determine the state of Antarctic ice, the transformational impact of satellite observation on her studies as well as the effects that the atmosphere and the oceans have on the ice.

Since its discovery in 1840, polar scientists have gone to great lengths to explore Antarctica’s depths. An ice-covered continent the size of the United States and Mexico combined, it has been the site and subject of revelatory scientific studies and awe-inspiring adventures. In its vastness and mysteriousness, it has captured imaginations and has been the source of inspiration for centuries.
