Step out on the sea ice just outside New Zealand’s Scott Base with researchers studying the physics of its annual cycle.

In winter, the ice effectively more than doubles the size of this already massive continent, and it plays a huge role in controlling our planet’s climate. Guests: Learn more: - Listen to Physics on Ice from 2021 with Emeritus Professor Pat Langhorne and Dr Inga Smith.
