The Story of the British Antarctic Survey
Antarctica is a cold desert of five and a quarter million square miles, masked by an immense ice sheet. This cruel, forbidding continent was the last to be discovered. No man set foot on it until 1820 and virtually all we know about this inhospitable region has been discovered in the last 80 years. In the first of two programmes, Sir Vivian Fuchs tells the story of the men who have faced some of the worst conditions nature can provide in their quest to discover the secrets of Antarctica.
