Their daring mission: to document the most important environmental challenge facing our planet – climate change. The team braved some of the Earth’s roughest and coldest seas, as well as the long, dark Antarctic winter, to bear witness to the changes wrought on one of the most rapidly warming places on the planet – the Antarctic Peninsula.
