Blending real audio samples from the Antarctic and a haunting four-part composition, come on a voyage to the southern continent. Starting at Hobart, the gateway to Antarctica, we set out on a journey across the Southern Ocean to Antarctica and share the beauty, the often-ferocious conditions, and the majestic wildlife we encounter on the way. The final fourth movement is a call for action, on how we can limit the impact of climate change on this precious environment.

‘We would like to give a huge thanks to the following amazing people and organisations that helped support this project, including through the provision of wonderful audio from the Antarctic. A particular massive thanks to Jackie Randles (NSW Science Week), Simon Drake (National Film and Sound Archive), Professor Tracey Rogers (University of New South Wales) and Tim Hewette (Antarctic Logistics and Expeditions). This composition was supported by an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant (DP210103621). Some of the ‘Icescapes’ we recorded by Philip Samartzis in the Southern Ocean and Eastern Antarctica in 2010 and 2016; Philip would like to acknowledge the support of The Australian Antarctic Division, The Australia Council for the Arts, The Bogong Centre for Sound Culture, Creative Victoria, The National Gallery of Victoria, and the School of Art at RMIT University.
