20. Putting Antarctic Women on the Map with Carol Devine

Women are written across the map of Antarctica. Researcher and writer Carol Devine connects two projects exploring polar history and environmental stewardship. Mapping Antarctic Women traces place names honoring queens, sponsors, family members, scientists, explorers, and other women whose stories are embedded in the continent’s geography. Devine also recounts Cleanup Project Antarctica, a 1990s initiative in which volunteer teams worked with Polish and Russian research stations to remove legacy waste and raise awareness of the Antarctic Treaty’s environmental protections. Together, the projects reveal how maps, historical recognition, activism, and hands-on conservation shape Antarctica’s human story.Episode Guest: Carol DevineLearn more about Carol Devine hereFollow Carol Devine on InstagramFollow Carol Devine on XFind The Antarctic Book of Cooking and Cleaning on Good Reads and Harper CollinsRead about the Mapping Antarctic Women project here Find the Map of Antarctic Women hereEpisode Transcript and more information on the Pine Forest Media WebsiteFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmediaHosted, produced, written, and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art and PFM logo by Laurel Wong. Theme music by Nela Ruizhf8G6WG2xCPX0XYyU5e0 Hosted on Acast.
