Located 3,500km from the nearest city on a volcanic island near Antarctica, lies New Zealand's only polar research station: Scott Base. In The Antarcticans , Matty Jordan offers a rare, vivid look at life in the world's most inhospitable environment.
Through captivating storytelling, the audiobook explores a landscape of curious penguins, all-day auroras, and "frozen-in-time" vistas. Beyond the scenery, Matty provides a behind-the-scenes perspective on the challenges of working in the coldest, windiest place on Earth.
As tourism to the "White Continent" grows, the audiobook also serves as a practical guide for responsible travel, detailing what to expect from expedition cruises, vast penguin colonies, and historic sites. Ultimately, The Antarcticans is a story of human connection.
Set within a remote research facility, it highlights how a sense of community can flourish even in total isolation. It offers listeners a temporary escape from our fast-paced "real world" into a magical, otherworldly environment where friendship and adventure are essential for survival. © 2026 Matty K.
