In this episode, I describe the geologic origins of the Antarctic continent and how it changed and developed over millions of years to become the coldest and windiest place on earth that it is today. The concepts of plate tectonics and continental drift are presented and play a key role in shaping the continent and in understanding its rich fossil record that includes ancient forests, dinosaurs, and giant penguins.
