EPISODE 3: Bars, babies and a big breakthrough

Over thousands of years, humans built civilizations on every other continent on Earth. But it wasn't until the 1800s that we arrived on Antarctica. Today, it's still a place with no indigenous population, no official government and not a single paved road. And thanks to a unique Cold War diplomatic breakthrough, Antarctica today remains a continent dedicated largely to science. How and why did humans first arrive in Antarctica? And what is it like for the men and women who live there now? PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
