Antarctica is one of the great frontiers of paleontology. It’s been really far south for a long time, but it hasn’t always been frozen over. In February of 2016, a team of paleontologists and geologists set out on an expedition to the frozen continent in search of fossils from the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. Matt talked with two of the team members, Eric Gorscak and Patrick O’Connor both from Ohio University, about planning the expedition and what they hope to find at the bottom of the world.

#AP3) team at www.antarcticdinos.org and @antarcticdinos!
Usually we put papers and books down here that are directly related to the interview. But in this case, there is more exploration to be done before the discoveries can be written up. We will keep you updated as AP3 publishes what they found! Also, check out the “Discoveries” tab at www.antarcticdinos.org to see some of the material they brought back from Antarctica!
For more on the natural history of the continent and the people who are trying to learn as much as they can from the ice-locked continent, check out Antarctica: A Biography by David Day.
For great reading on Antarctic exploration check out Empire of Ice by Edward J. Larson, an account of the race to the South Pole which dramatically illustrates the dangers of Antarctic voyages.
