Diving into Polar stories

Stories are at the heart of what continues to make RRS Discovery so captivating over 125 years since it first set sail to the Antarctic. And, they’re key to our mission for Discovery here in Dundee; sparking curiosity in current and future generations.

The Blizzard Podcast invites budding explorers, Polar enthusiasts, and friends of RRS Discovery like you to peer behind-the-scenes of life at Discovery Point and aboard Captain Scott’s ship in Scotland.

In this perfectly Polar podcast, we’re joined by guests from far and wide, covering a range of topics. Ever wondered what happened to Captain Scott when he returned from the British National Antarctic Expedition in 1904? Pondered over what Shackleton and his colleagues listened to in Discovery‘s Wardroom, in the coldest place on Earth? Or maybe modern expeditions in the footsteps of Polar legends is your interest.

Grab a hot cocoa, snap a ship’s biscuit, and settle down to be transported to the Antarctic by over five hours of The Blizzard Podcast.
