Antarctica is now one of the coldest and most inhospitable places on Earth, covered by enormous sheets of ice. But millions of years ago, the frozen continent looked completely different. Fossils reveal a distant Antarctica where forests grew, plants flourished, and a very different climate allowed life to thrive near the South Pole. Tonight, we travel deep into Antarctica’s ancient past to discover how a continent now buried beneath ice could once have been green and forested. From prehistoric landscapes and changing climates to the remarkable fossils that reveal this forgotten world, this is a journey into one of Earth’s most surprising transformations. Boring History for Sleep — Soft stories about ancient worlds, lost landscapes, and the hidden history of our planet.
