Antarctica is like nowhere else on Earth. Icy and unforgiving
and not owned by any one nation. But with threats to polar
security and the splintering world order, can Antarctica stay
neutral and unclaimed?
In February, CBC's international climate correspondent Susan
Ormiston, along with her producer and videographer, joined
polar climate scientists and the Royal Canadian Navy for a
month-long journey to the Antarctic. It was the first
all-Canadian trip to the continent.
With exclusive access, Ormiston and her team documented
stunning vistas, curious penguins and the gritty daily grind of
scientific field work as HMCS Margaret Brooke made its way
through towering icebergs beyond the Antarctic Circle.
