    Season 2 Trailer

    Season 2 is launching soon.

    In 2018, Samantha Hodder joined an all-women’s leadership expedition to Antarctica, as Podcaster-in-Residence.

    The trip plan was to get all the way to the Rothera Research Station, part of the British Antarctic Survey...a place that’s so remote, it’s almost an illusion.

    But they had a problem. Before they could reach the destination, they almost got stuck in the ice.

    What now?

    Do they risk going out into the dangerous open waters of the Southern Ocean with weather coming in?

    Or, do they give up on our plans, their hopes and dreams, and head for home?

    But maybe the strangest thing is this was actually a question, on a ship, in the middle of Antarctica.

    Because, this question became a vote….a blind vote...with the passengers.

    What happens next, when 80 women take charge of this dangerous decision, aboard a ship in frozen waters, in the most remote place on this planet?

    Subscribe to this 5-part series.

    It’s an emotional odyssey to the end of the world.
