Glaciologists will find this video obvious. Everyone else... well, maybe I slept through a bit of sixth-grade geography, but I didn't know this, and I reckon I should have done. Pull down the description for more!

I'm here because of Chris Hadfield's Generator Arctic - go check out everyone else who was on the trip, and have a look at tickets for their show at Massey Hall, Toronto, on November 12th! http://generatorevent.com

Thanks to all the team at Quark Expeditions - http://www.quarkexpeditions.com - who made it possible for us to get there, and whose crew and staff on board were just amazing! In particular, thanks to Colin Souness, geologist and glaciologist, who fact-checked my script. You can see him over at Quark's YouTube channel in 360-degree video from Antarctica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3kSkg9N57Q

The fellow traveller at the end is Elmo Keep - http://elmokeep.com - who's writing profiles of the people we meet out here: follow her on Twitter to see it when it's published! https://twitter.com/elmo_keep
