More than a third of Ukraine's scientific institutions have been damaged or destroyed by Russian bombing. Many scientists have either fled the country or are internally displaced, and that Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences is trying to operate on half its pre-war budget. The funding may be reduced but the science still matters, even in wartime. Perhaps especially in wartime. It is something the country can be proud of. Climate change has no borders and Ukraine is making a key contribution to our understanding of the global warming crisis. We hear from the scientists of Ukraine's National Antarctic Scientific Centre, torn between the frontlines of a prolonged national conflict whilst simultaneously attempting to arm the world with the latest research on a warming climate from the white wilderness of Antarctica.

Captain Preet Chandi MBE is a world record breaking explorer, former British Army officer, and physiotherapist. She served in the Royal Army Medical Corps for 16 years before embarking on groundbreaking polar expeditions. In 2022, Preet became the ninth woman in history to ski solo to the South Pole, and the first woman of colour to complete a solo expedition on the continent. Less than a year later, she set out on her next adventure, breaking two Guinness World Records for the longest solo unsupported one-way ski expedition, both for a woman and overall, covering 922 miles in 70 days. She returned to Antarctica in December 2023 to set her fourth world record: the female speed record to the South Pole, completed in 31 days, 13 hours, and 19 minutes. Preet's expeditions are driven by her mission to inspire others to push boundaries. She champions the message that everyone starts somewhere, and that no matter your background or starting point in life, you are capable of breaking barriers and redefining what's possible. In 2025, she established her Community Interest Company, Adventure is Ours CIC, which supports expeditions that promote education, inspiration, climate awareness, and diversity in exploration. Through the CIC, she also delivers outreach, mentorship, and school visits to empower people of all ages. In 2022, Preet started delivered her school talks across the UK, reaching more than 18,000 students. That same year, she was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the Queen's Birthday Honours. Her achievements have been widely recognised: she received the ‘Inspirational' and ‘Woman of the Year' awards at the inaugural Women in Defence event in 2022, was named ‘Explorer of the Year' in 2023, and in 2025 was awarded the prestigious Geographical Award by the Royal Geographical Society.

Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is massive, bigger than the state of Florida. If it collapses, it could reshape every coast on this planet during this century. That's why it's sometimes known as “the Doomsday Glacier.”And yet, until recently, we knew very little about it. Because Thwaites is extremely remote, reachable only by crossing the wildest ocean on the planet, scientists had never observed its calving edge firsthand. In 2019, a ground-breaking international mission set out to change that, and writer Elizabeth Rush was on board to document the voyage.  We caught up with her to learn about life on an Antarctic icebreaker, how she grappled with classic Antarctic narratives about exploration (and domination), and how she summons hope even after coming face-to-face with Thwaites.     This episode was first published in early 2024.

Here's the one detailing findings about Thwaites' past extent, extrapolated from their study of ancient penguin bones, and another sharing observations about water currents beneath its ice shelf.The Trump administration has pulled funding for the US's only Antarctic icebreaker dedicated to scientific research.

This week's host jeweller Kelly Twigg, speaks with Kasey Williams, founder of Nunatak Jewellery, who is currently deployed in Antarctica. Kasey talks about her passion for both her environmental engineering career and her jewellery-making hobby. Kasey shares her unique experience of making jewellery in an extreme environment, discussing how she adapts her techniques to the cold and dry conditions, and how she sources her materials. She also talks about her journey into silversmithing, her inspirations from nature and her travels, and her plans for Nunatak Jewellery after returning to Australia.  This is a fascinating insight into the skills you need to make jewellery in a challenging place including resourcefulness and problem-solving skills.  https://www.jewellersacademy.com/ Instagram @jewellersacademy   About Kasey Nunatak is a handmade silver jewellery brand created in one of the most remote and extreme environments on Earth—Antarctica. Founded in 2025 by Kasey during her fourth season on the icy continent, Nunatak began as a creative outlet to keep her hands and mind busy during the long, cold polar winter. What started with a few quiet hours at the workbench in a research station has grown into a deeply personal craft, shaped by experience, resilience, and a love for untamed places. Kasey has been making silver jewellery since 2021, creating pieces both at the edge of the world and back home in Tasmania, Australia, where the wilderness is just as inspiring. With a background in environmental engineering, her work is grounded in a respect for nature's forms, materials, and stories. Each design is handcrafted with intention—simple, strong, and made to last—just like the adventurers who wear them. Website: www.nunataksilver.com Instagram: @_.Nunatak._  

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight I record with a camera staring back and a desk lamp pretending to be the sun. We wander from “ugly days” and nameless feelings to a pocket-list of fears (being unloved, losing the thread) and a shy wish for an embrace that actually lands. Stockholm drifts by in autumn colors; Antarctica glitters at the horizon; the anger engine sputters and we swap it for aim. It's an introspective, slightly absurd ramble designed to help you drift off to sleep—soft edges, loose threads, and an imaginative lull between breaths. It is what it is. What happens, happens. And right now, there's nothing we can do except fall asleep together.

HOW ARE MARINE ROBOTS SHAPING OUR FUTURE? inventor James Bellingham draws on decades of expeditions from the Arctic to the Antarctic to reveal how autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are changing how humans explore and work in the ocean. These robots endure crushing pressures, freezing waters, and total darkness—collecting data vital for climate science, offshore energy, aquaculture, archaeology, and more. And the story doesn't end on Earth. Many of the same technologies being perfected in our seas will one day explore ocean worlds beyond our planet—including Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus—places where liquid water lies beneath thick ice and where conditions may be right for extraterrestrial life. Finding life in these alien oceans would be one of the most profound discoveries in human history, changing how we see ourselves in the universe. From enduring fierce storms off Antarctica to developing robots that “think” and navigate on their own, Bellingham shares the inside story of working at the intersection of:Scientific discovery—expanding our knowledge of oceans on Earth and beyondCutting-edge technology—designing self-reliant machines for extreme environmentsSocietal choice—balancing the benefits of ocean technology with environmental, ethical, and economic considerationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

A runner's memoir by a man who has run marathons on every continent. Bob Welbaum shares his adventures from Antarctica to the Great Wall of China at age 77.

On the morning of 28 November 1979, Air New Zealand Flight TE901 departed Auckland Airport in Māngere on an 11-hour sightseeing journey to Antarctica. At 1:49 p.m., tragedy struck when the aircraft crashed into the lower slopes of Mt Erebus, claiming the lives of all 237 passengers and 20 crew. It remains the worst civil disaster in New Zealand's history. In this program, we retrace the flight path of TE901 and explore the complex and compelling story behind the doomed journey. Along the way, we search for answers, and the lessons that must never be forgotten.

This week, Bretman and Miss Kaaaye are talking all things spooky: dragon theories, the Antarctica ice wall, Bulgarian mountain portals, and the Mandela Effect. They read wild fan submissions, share a plumbing horror story, and break down whether pumpkin spice lattes are actually government mind control.

It's a lukewarm take on the Antarctic this week owing to the actions of Mark from near Colliers Wood. We all know that the Antarctic holds strong appeal for scientists who either A) can't work out how else to avoid a conventional domestic life or B) are waiting out the clock on a statute of limitations in their home nation. But what on Earth is in it for the penguins? What have they got to prove? And do their feet ever stick to the ice when they have a waddle-pause? Answers on a postcard please and in the meantime enjoy what we assume is a world first: a podcast episode recorded by people actually physically in the same room.With thanks to our editor Laura Grimshaw.Tickets for our UK TOUR available here: https://littlewander.co.uk/tours/three-bean-salad-podcast/Merch now available here: www.threebeansaladshop.comGet in touch: threebeansaladpod@gmail.com @beansaladpod

Chico-based author and artist Michelle Ott shares insights from her four seasons in Antarctica through her captivating words and illustrations.

Dr Todd Bond is marine ecologist who goes where very few humans have ever been: the underworld, or the deep ocean. There, he studies the strange, scary and often cute creatures who call the deepest parts of our oceans home.This part of the ocean starts at 6000 metres deep, and is known as the 'Hadal Zone'.Todd travels there in a small titanium submersible, not much bigger than his own 6'4'' frame.Waiting there for Todd, in the inky darkness, is mysterious and magic, and is still largely unexplored by humans.And when he can't get there himself, Todd sends cameras down to poke around these trenches and caverns.Dr Todd Bond is the Deputy Director of the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre at The University of Western Australia. You can read more about what the centre does online.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Send us a textMargie Goldsmith, author of Becoming a Badass: From Fearful to Fierce, suggests "do one thing every day that scares you" – a mantra that transformed her into the adventure-seeking "badass" she is today. She shares captivating stories from her journeys across more than 100 countries, revealing how memorable travel experiences often arise from unexpected human connections.We start in the remote mountain paths of Bhutan, where Margie found herself teaching American camp songs to fascinated schoolchildren. In Morocco, what began as local women laughing at her marathon training outfit evolved into a joyous mountain-top celebration.Her tales take us to Mongolia, where an 85-year-old toothless horseman (the country's fastest racehorse rider) led her across vast plains, and to Easter Island, where she recounts the dangerous traditional Birdman competition where participants risk their lives.Whether she's distributing harmonicas to children in developing nations, playing blues with an Acadian women's drum corps in Canada, or exchanging personal items with a mountain guide in Argentina despite having no common language, her tales ring with authenticity, and resonate decades later.From following a Finnish reindeer herder through Lapland's snowy forests to navigating past aggressive elephant seals in Antarctica, Margie demonstrates how facing fears leads to extraordinary experiences and personal growth.This engaging conversation, including many of Lea's travel tales as well, will inspire you to seek authentic connections in your travels – and challenge yourself, as Margie does. As she proves through her harmonica performance ending the episode, it's never too late to develop new passions and continue growing through travel and creative expression._____Margie Goldsmith is an award-winning writer, musician, and author of Becoming a Badass: From Fearful to Fierce, available in print, Kindle and audiobook, with Margie narrating (including some of her music!).

BEST OF TST: The Antarctica Effect is a series of stories from lost ecosystems and strange radio signals to pyramids that have been published as just happening, when a quick online search will prove that these same stories have appeared over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. In some instances going back over a decade in the case of the Antarctica pyramid. Due to its remoteness and extreme environment, few ever venture there with few exceptions for science or military projects. Several countries have territorial claims in the ice; others have research stations. It is the perfect location to set a science fiction story, a tale of desolation and horror, or a theory of UFOs and lost civilization. In 1936 H.P. Lovecraft published “At he Mountains of Madness”; two years later in 1938 a book called “Who Goes There?” was published; that same year Neuschwabenland was explored by Germany; in 1951 “The Thing from Another World” was released, based on the 1938 book, which lead to the 1982 movie “The Thing”; In 1998 The X Files movie released; and in 2008 a mocking documentary was published online with images that became source material for Antarctica conspiracy theories. Those theories expanded after Lake Vostok produced evidence of 3,500 different species, resulting in leading authorities visiting the icy world; this story was later substituted with authorities traveling to see the UFO in ice, the same one from that mocking documentary. Then whistleblowers surfaced talking about weapons and technology that were already public knowledge, leading to a thought that perhaps there is something there and people, for the wrong reasons, were getting close, thus requiring the presence of disinformation and misinformation agents, just as the pentagon used UFOs to cover up development of the F-117.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and driest place on Earth. It's a frozen continent at the bottom of the world, covered almost entirely by ice. Even though people don't live there permanently, scientists travel to Antarctica to study its wildlife, glaciers, and weather. Penguins, seals, and whales survive in this extreme environment, showing how life can adapt to the harshest conditions. This video explores the icy landscapes of Antarctica, what makes it so important for Earth's climate, and why protecting this frozen world helps scientists understand our planet's future.

What can ice cores tell us about the atmosphere millions of years ago? These cylinders of ice, drilled from glaciers and ice sheets around the world, preserve precious clues about our changing climate and records such as rainfall, temperature and greenhouse gases, even volcanic eruptions. But what can the past tell us about the future? Host Graihagh Jackson hears from two ice core experts about their icy adventures in Antarctica, the Himalayas and beyond.Dr Liz Thomas is Head of Ice Cores Research at the British Antarctic Survey and is currently working on an ice core that may be the oldest ever. Lonnie Thompson is a pioneer in the field whose first ice core finds date back to the 1970s. He is Distinguished University Professor of Earth Sciences. Senior Research Scientist, Byrd Polar Research Center, The Ohio State University. Professor Thompson also appears in a documentary called The Canary.Presenter: Graihagh Jackson Producers: Diane Richardson and Nik Sindle Production coordinator: Maria Ogundele and Sabine Schereck Sound mix: Tom Brignell and Louis Griffin Editor: Simon Watts

We're so back. Thanks for listening to our first episode back with a new name, Parkside Breaks. For our first episode we introduce our guest, Emily Dostie from Glass Slipper Concierge. We follow along with her as she reviews her trip to Disneyland. We break down why the West Coast parks feel calmer, kinder, and more walkable—and how that shift turns a packed itinerary into a truly luxurious experience. Think: direct hotel-to-park access at the Grand Californian, characters actually roaming, lighter Lightning Lane pressure, and mornings that don't start in a sprint.We compare the energy of Disney California Adventure to Hollywood Studios, gush over the length and thrill of the Incredicoaster, and get honest about Guardians of the Galaxy vs Tower of Terror.

PREVIEW-HALLIDAY-ICE-10-19.mp3. Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds. Thomas Halliday. Continuing his conversation with John Batchelor, Thomas Halliday, author of Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds, explains that planet Earth exists in only two environmental states: greenhouse Earth and icehouse Earth. We currently live in an icehouse Earth, defined by the presence of ice at the poles, which is critical for planetary conditions and the evolution of life. The cooling of Antarctica resulted from the opening of the Drake Passage, which enabled the formation of the circumpolar current. Before this event, large parts of Antarctica, including Seymour Island, contained temperate rainforest ecosystems supporting diverse mammal communities and multiple penguin species. The circumpolar current prevented the exchange of warmth with the tropics, causing the continent to cool and glaciers to form and spread.

PREVIEW-HALLIDAY-DRAKE-10.mp3. Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds. Thomas Halliday. This excerpt features John Batchelor speaking with Thomas Halliday, the author of Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds. Halliday describes the profound geological event that caused Antarctica to become ice-covered. Previously, the Antarctic Peninsula—including Seymour Island—was connected to Patagonia, maintaining a temperate climate with forests and diverse populations of mammals and birds. The cooling process began when the peninsula moved away from South America, opening the Drake Passage. This opening allowed the circumpolar current to form, isolating the weather system of the South Pole and preventing the exchange of warmth from South America and the tropics. This shift led to the emergence and spread of glaciers across the continent, a process that unfolded over tens of millions of years.

HEADLINE: Greenhouse Antarctica, the First Whales, and the Survival Strategies Post-Asteroid Impact BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, a journey through Earth's extinct world GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This section begins in the Eocene (41 million years ago), a time of Greenhouse Earthcharacterized by no permanent polar ice, high CO2 (800 ppm), and temperatures about five degrees Celsius warmer than today. Seymour Island (West Antarctic Peninsula) hosted a diverse temperate rainforest before the onset of glaciation. The cooling process was triggered by the opening of the Drake Passage, which created the circum-polar current and isolated Antarctica from tropical warmth. Marine life included Pelagornis, a pseudo-toothed bird analogous to the albatross, and Basilosaurus, the first truly aquatic whale, which evolved from coastal predators. Despite the warmth, the Antarctic region still endured three months of total darkness in winter, requiring plants to drop their leaves. The conversation then shifts to the Paleocene following the K-Pg mass extinction. This extinction was caused by an exogenous asteroid strike in the Yucatan Peninsula, which halted photosynthesis worldwide for years due to atmospheric soot. Most animals larger than a small dog perished. The rapid diversification of mammals, specifically Eutherians (placental mammals), began immediately after the extinction event. Survival was facilitated by being small, insectivorous, and burrowing, which provided a stable environment against extreme temperature swings.

Have you ever wondered if there are things an airplane simply can't or won't do? It turns out that airplanes have strict rules regarding their pathways in the sky – for safety reasons, and for the sake of staying friendly with continental neighbors. Some of the places they're not allowed to fly over might surprise you! For example, planes won't fly directly over the Earth's poles and over the Pacific Ocean. You can't see planes over Tibet and over the City of Mecca. The airspace over Walt Disney World and Disneyland is also a no-fly zone. The same applies to Area 51 but we don't know why.

At least two people have been killed in an attack outside a synagogue in Manchester in northern England on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Three others are in a serious condition after the incident, in which a car was driven at people and a man was stabbed. Greater Manchester Police have confirmed the suspected assailant was shot dead by armed officers. Detectives have declared it a terrorist attack. Also: the head of Hamas's armed wing in Gaza tells mediators he does not agree to the plan set out by US President Donald Trump to end the war with Israel. Rescue workers in Indonesia say there are no longer any signs of life under the rubble of a school which collapsed in East Java, with nearly sixty people still missing. Britain's Royal Society is marking 75 years since the mathematician and Second World War codebreaker, Alan Turing, created a test to help distinguish a machine from a human. And an ice core from Antarctica that may be more than 1.5 million years old is being melted down by scientists to unlock key information about Earth's climate.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

This week we're heading to the desolate, frozen landscape of Antarctica for John Carpenter's claustrophobic and paranoia-fueled 1982 masterpiece, The Thing! We'll be discussing the terrifying, shape-shifting alien, the incredible practical effects, and the nail-biting suspense as R.J. MacReady and his team try to figure out who—or what—among them is the impostor. Who can you trust when the threat is... well, anything?And to keep us warm while we try to survive the night, we're mixing up a classic that cuts straight to the point: the Rusty Nail, featuring J&B Scotch Whisky. This smoky, sweet, and potent two-ingredient cocktail is a perfect match for a film that is as sharp and uncompromising as a blast of MacReady's flamethrower.

Episode 323 Temperatures in Antarctica have soared by over 35°C. Scientists are concerned about how quickly things are changing on the continent as these warmer temperatures impact the polar vortex. Coupled with record lows in sea ice cover over the last decade, this could be a sign that Antarctic weather patterns have shifted permanently. What's driving this change - and what happens if we have reached a tipping point of no return? Many mammals, including cats, can pivot their ears to focus on a particular sound. But our ears aren't quite so flexible. But now it appears that a similar process happens inside our brain - ‘swivelling' to focus on sounds from different directions. This has only recently been discovered thanks to new portable EEG equipment, as the process only happens when we're moving. This finding may help us better understand how movement changes the brain - and could even help improve hearing aids.  Why do women tend to live longer than men? It could have something to do with the very chromosomes that determine biological sex. By looking at birds, whose sex chromosomes differ from those of mammals, researchers have discovered an intriguing hint at what's going on. But does their new hypothesis hold up? Alongside all the emerging science, Rowan shares his own theory. And the team discusses the disappearance of the Y chromosome - and what that really means for men.

Wondering if group travel might be your next adventure? Join me as I chat with Avery Hale-Smith, Chief Experience Officer at Backroads, who shares how guided active adventures are transforming the way people experience destinations worldwide.Avery reveals how her own childhood travels—from immersive village experiences in Ecuador to studying abroad in India—shaped her perspective on what makes travel truly meaningful. These formative journeys ultimately led her back to Backroads, where she now works alongside her father (the founder) to create exceptional active travel experiences focused on cultural connection and personal growth.We dive deep into the remarkable surge in women's adventure travel, with Backroads seeing triple-digit growth in their women-specific trips. Avery explains this phenomenon: "Women tend to spend much of their lives doing things for others. Now they're waking up and feeling like 'why wait?' The time is now to choose me." This shift has created a boom in journeys with spiritual elements, like the Camino de Santiago, where women find both connection and personal transformation.The conversation takes unexpected turns when Avery describes their unique active safaris in Africa—where guests actually bike through game reserves alongside giraffes—and their adventures spanning from Antarctica to the Azores. For solo travelers (my specialty!), there's exciting news about upcoming reduced single supplements to make these experiences more accessible.Perhaps most valuable are Avery's insights for women venturing out alone: "Start small, follow your intuition, and remember you're capable of more than you think." Whether you're considering your first solo journey or looking to join a group adventure, this episode illuminates how stepping beyond your comfort zone—with the right support—can create life's most enriching experiences.Ready to discover how active travel might transform your next adventure?

HEADLINE: Antarctic Warming Threatens Australia with Catastrophic Summer; Cockatoos Declare War on TulipsGUEST: Jeremy Zachas 100 WORD SUMMARY: Reporting from New South Wales, Jeremy Zachas details the effects of Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) over Antarctica, which involves a rapid 30°C rise in the upper atmosphere. This disruption threatens Australia with a potentially catastrophic, very warm summer, reviving fears of bushfires. The SSW is also accelerating the melting of Antarctic ice shelves. Regarding the upcoming Ashes series, England plans to use pure brute force against Australia's refined technique. While kangaroos spare daffodils, cockatoos are identified as villains for aggressively destroying spring tulips. On a positive note, Sophia the Rottweiler puppy survived a highly venomous red-bellied black snake bite due to swift medical attention. 1800 COCKATOO

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of a revered Greek musician and composure who found success  across many different genres... Vangelis! His career began in rock bands,  where with Aphrodite's Child he helped create the album 666, which would become a progressive-pyschadelic rock classic. He continued to find success in the music industry before transitioning to scoring films with Charitos of Fire in 1981, for which he would win Best Original Score at the Academy Awards. His career was launched to new heights and would continue making music for classic moves movies such as Blade Runner (1982), Missing (1983), Antarctica (1983), The Bounty (1984), 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992), and Alexander (2004). His career in music spanned over 50 years, making him one of the most important figures in modern film music.  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

In this one, I talk to author and multi-disciplinary artist Tessa Hulls. She recently won the Pulitzer Prize for her graphic memoir, “Feeding Ghosts.” It's about three generations of women in her family — her grandma, her mom, and herself — and the ways their lives were shaped by political violence, migration, silence and survival. The book moves across continents and decades, weaving together personal history and national trauma. It examines what it means to be stuck in time, and carrying the reverberations of inherited trauma. It also confronts the fallibility of memory — what we remember versus what actually happened — and the tension between being Chinese and being American. Tessa's grandma would have been the keeper of the family's history, but she was a locked box — often medicated and unable to speak much English. So, at 30, after spending most of her life running from the weight of her family's story, Tessa realized that if she didn't confront it, she risked becoming the next generation of collateral damage. Tessa's been coming to Alaska for the past 14 years, and says that there's nothing that makes her feel more at home than being alone in the backcountry. Drawn by the scale of Alaska's wild places and the way they offer a kind of perspective she hasn't found anywhere else. It provides her with moments that dissolve ego — when the vastness of the landscape reminds her of how small she is. The people are in tune with change, and the shifting seasons shape daily life and identity. It's freeing and grounding at the same time.  The outdoors has shaped nearly every part of Tessa's creative life, and it played a major role in the writing of “Feeding Ghosts.” It offered her the solitude and clarity she needed to confront her family's story, and it was during a stint working as a chef in Antarctica that she first began teaching herself to draw comics. She says she didn't have a choice when it came to writing it — it wasn't a passion project, but a responsibility. She felt summoned by her family's ghost to break the silence and carry their story forward. And while she has no plans to write another book, she's now thinking about how to use the attention the memoir has brought her to uplift other artists in Alaska. Photo courtesy of Gavin Doremus

Ready to have your mind expanded and reality disbanded as Bernie Taylor joins us for a fall special. How could Antarctica be present on maps drawn in the 1500s, such as the Contarini–Rosselli Map of 1506 or the Ottoman–Piri Reis Map of 1513, when nobody knew it existed? We explore the origins of this theoretical land, beginning with Claudius Ptolemy's concept of Circulus antarcticus around 150 CE, which postulated the existence of a southern continent as part of a Greek theory of the globe. We'll investigate the possibility that these maps contain the fingerprints of a lost civilization that mapped the entire world.
