Part 2/8:
Starting with Antarctica, a continent often shrouded in mystery, we venture beneath its vast ice sheets. Scientists have long speculated about the potential for life in such an isolated environment that has remained undisturbed for millions of years. The harsh, icy landscape is home to some unique species and offers a glimpse into a different evolutionary process.
As we explore Antarctica, we uncover geological features that tell the story of its past, and the implications of climate change as glaciers retreat. With 90% of the Earth's ice on this singular continent, the melting ice raises concerns about global sea levels and the biodiversity that is threatened if these ecosystems continue to deteriorate.
