Such a fleeting and ethereal thing, won't even survive being tightly held in one's grasp. And yet, while easily smothered, it never truly dies. It only becomes more real in its absence, and somehow, it always finds its way back to you again.

After all the worldly wealth and power will have crumbled to nothing, all the flames burnt out and all waters dried away, sit down on the last piece of rock, open your palm and close your eyes. It will be there, waiting for you.

Humanity has long had outposts in the barren tundra lands of the arctic, but only in recent times have we visited the poles or the entire continent of Antarctica. In this episode we will explore how me use technology in the future to make cold permafrost into verdant farmland through greenhouses, solar mirrors, geothermal, or other techniques, as well as how we might follow a different path, and adapt our civilization to prosper among perpetual winter and ice.
