A Penguin Sized Egg Carton, a Self-Heating Drone, or a Norwegian You're Gonna Die Out There

Hey Hey Nature Nerds- apologies for the lateness of this episode! But here it is in all its glory! Megan tries to lighten the mood with some good news about a resilient coral at the Great Barrier Reef. Jen immediately brings us back to reality with a story (continuation, if you will, of the Patreon August Bonus) about Apsley Cherry and the Worst Journey in the World- a documentation of Antarctic Exploration with connections to Climate Change today! Get the kettle on and try to stay warm!
