Life on Ice: Jean Pennycook on Living and Researching in Antarctica
In this fascinating episode, I sit down with Jean Pennycook, a scientist and educator who has spent over two decades living and working in the icy wilderness of Antarctica. Jean shares what it’s like to sleep in a tent on the frozen continent, conduct penguin research in extreme conditions, and witness some of Earth’s most extraordinary wildlife up close. From the daily routines of survival in sub-zero temperatures to the breathtaking beauty of the polar landscape, Jean offers a rare, first-hand look at life and science at the end of the world.
