This PBS 45 & 49 series goes south -- so far south that it's almost north! -- to discover the little-understood continent of Antarctica. Students will explore its biological diversity, the geology, the geography and the weather, and debate the necessity of balance between the desire for progress and the need for preservation of this important continent. Materials for the series will not be available until January 2004.
