It’s the last in our run of episodes about Antarctica, we are all back home and promise to stop bothering the poor continent.
It’s the last in our run of episodes about Antarctica, we are all back home and promise to stop bothering the poor continent.
Alan and Thom discuss coming back to an inbox of horrors and readjusting to time away.
More cable cutting in our news updates, as well as blobfish being voted fish of the year and the tongue eating louse potentially being invertebrate of the year. We don’t want to say that we influence the news, but it does seem a little spooky.

Thom couldn’t talk about it until after the press release but the Schmidt Ocean Institute cruise he was on got to look at the seabed under a 150 m thick ice shelf right as it moved out of the way. We talk to the science leads on that cruise, Patricia Esquete and Sasha Montelli. We learn about the hydrography and glaciology of that region and then the seabed and communities that were revealed when the ice shelf moved away.
Kat and Thom update us on what it was like joining a tourist expedition ship and we grab a Coffee With Andrew to learn was it was like to dive to almost 5km deep in a sub.
You’re bound to leave this episode with a watery smile!
We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us;
Ryker | Kerry Jowett
Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!
