Evan Quinter was just graduating with his Masters in Physical Ocean Sciences and Engineering when he contacted us with an idea about recording stories from his forthcoming trip to Antarctica. What wonderful news, we thought. Evan has since proved to be a good storyteller as well as oceanographer. That's his research vessel above, the RV Nathaniel B. Palmer.

Evan writes -- "Polar Pulse Radio centers around the science, stories, and wonders at the ends of our planet. Join me as I sail across the Southern Ocean and traverse the Antarctic continent to give you a first-hand look at the ice. From live field recordings to interviews with experts and uncovered historical accounts, listen to Polar Pulse for all things polar."

Polar Pulse Ep 1

Every journey needs a beginning -- and the starting point for any journey to the Antarctic Peninsula begins in Punta Arenas, Chile. We journey back in time to discover why this city has become such a gateway for past and present scientific excursions.

One of the greatest deterrents is not the unbeatable cold or the mountainous icebergs, but the unnerving seas of the Drake Passage. Dive straight into the spray, learning about the science, history, and allure of this infamous waterway.

Highly Recommended - Evan's time at the University of Delaware (here in Newark, DE) set him up for an adventure none of us will ever experience. His reports are warm and personal, factually accurate, and honor the history of the great explorers before him.

Thank you, Evan, for your research, education, experiences, and storytelling.
