 Thin Ice encourages you to protect and appreciate the remaining wild places on earth -- especially Antarctica. Co-hosts Robert Swan (the first person in history to walk to the South and North Poles) and Dan Smith pick up where their "Undaunted" podcast left off; Feedspot still ranks it among the Best Antarctica Podcasts (as of March 2025). So, jump on in -- the water's icy but fine -- and join us on the journey to protect what's left of the wild and restore what's been lost. It's going to be ... wild!

  • The Sinking of Southern Quest: May Day M'aider Part 2

    The Sinking of Southern Quest: May Day M'aider Part 2
    Jun 9 2025

    In “The Sinking of Southern Quest: May Day M’aider Part 2,”Robert Swan and William Fenton share what happened after their ship was trapped in Antarctic pack ice in 1986 (the title is a bit of a spoiler). They also recount the James Bond-style resistance from government agencies that opposed the firstprivate expedition to the South Pole in the modern era.

    In spite of all obstacles, the “In the Footsteps of Scott” expedition lived up to the promises made to the sons of Earnest Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott as well as Jacques Cousteau. It’s a tale of incredible perseverance that continues to encourage and inspire people to this day.

  • May Day M’aider, from Antarctica

    May Day M’aider, from Antarctica
    May 1 2025

    It’s May Day — a time to honor the bounty of nature and hard work, and a distress call derived from French, m’aider ("help me"). So, this is a perfect day to launch Thin Ice, which celebrates nature and the hard work of preserving wild spaces while sounding an international plea for action.


    Co-hosts Robert Swan (the first person to walk to both the South and North Poles) and Dan Smith share stories from the wild in hopes of inspiring people to appreciate and protect the remaining wild places on Earth, especially Antarctica.


    Episode 1 features William Fenton, the first person to volunteer to help Robert ultimately raise (US) $5 million in the early 1980s to fund the first private expedition to the South Pole in the modern era.


    Together, Robert and William didn’t make London Bridge fall down, but Southern Quest, their expedition ship, did bash into London’s Tower Bridge. And that was just the start of their entertaining yet death-defying adventure.
