Spored

Besides suffering through the harsh conditions of Antarctica, the research teams often come up against some seriously bad luck while out in the field. The Mount Erebus team not only has trouble landing at one of their sites, but once they do, their computer equipment begins to malfunction in the cold. While out at sea, the USS Coast Guard Polar Star is carving out a channel in the ice to escort supply tankers to the continent when the main engines experience a major malfunction, leaving the ship dead in the water. Meanwhile, 68 kilometres from Scott Base, in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a team mapping out the only part of the continent not covered in ice is dealing with significant winds that threaten to destroy their $80,000 drone.

Any living creature found in Antarctica has to endure the harshest climate on earth in order to survive and thrive as a species. But, it's not all about the naturally extreme conditions that keeps wildlife in this frozen land mere steps away from death or mass extinction. We take a fascinating look at how both climate change and direct human interference has forced wildlife to adapt in order to survive in this isolated part of the world.
