Part 2. Searching for silence

Antarctica is often called the “silent continent”. But how quiet is it really? In this episode, Simone sets out to record the quietest sounds she can, only to discover that finding “silence” is more complicated than expected. Along the way, her search for silence begins to change how she understands the Antarctic soundscape – and our own place as visitors within it. This podcast is produced by researcher-recordist Simone Eringfeld, as part of her PhD at the Scott Polar Research Institute (University of Cambridge). More info: www.simoneeringfeld.com
