A history of human activity in Antarctica

Heading to Antarctica
I've been offered work in Antarctica and urgently need to renew some certs and get my teeth fixed and get a seafarer's medical and plane tickets and some coffee.
If you've paid all your bills and put some money aside for a rainy day and donated to some charities and had your fill of the caviar and lobster, please consider flicking a few bucks my way.
Music, soundscapes and broad horizons lie in the offing, so take care and appreciate your coffee.

Customer Reviews
Perfect in every way
Like cold, lonely places? Fascinated by the limits of human endurance? Love super-specific audio programming by people who know what they’re talking about? You’ve gone to the right place. Ice Coffee is the antidote to overproduced, over-chopped podcasts. A guy, coffee, and the history of humans and on the Earth’s least-known continent.
Don't like delivery method
The content is interesting, but the narrator is very obviously reading, rather than telling the story. Personally, I much prefer reading that sounds like someone is talking to me rather than reading. Not always easily done.
Excellent!
This is the absolute best podcast on Antarctica. Start with episode 1 and be prepared to be enchanted with the well researched and epic storytelling of the author.
