S1, E6: A recollection of the epic journeys that have been made in the quest to explore Antarctica. From Captain Scott's hut, David Attenborough relates the history of the struggles to be the first to reach the South Pole. Incredibly, progress has been such that some people now live there permanently - scientists and support staff work in temperatures of minus 70 and live through weeks of total darkness.
