Beneath Antarctica’s seafloor, scientists recovered ancient soil threaded with roots—a record of a rainforest that grew near the South Pole around 90 million years ago.
How did trees survive months of polar darkness? And how did their forest floor end up buried beneath a freezing sea?
Join The Deep Blue as we follow a remarkable sediment core into Antarctica’s green past. Pollen, amber, and charcoal reveal a vanished landscape, while fossils from elsewhere on the continent tell the wider story of giant penguins, marine reptiles, and early whales. Discover how shifting land, changing oceans, and a cooling climate transformed this world—and preserved traces of it beneath the ice and seabed.
