Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast 2020.
Every year, the BBC World Service makes this special programme for just
40 listeners: the team of scientists and support staff isolated at British
research stations in the Antarctic midwinter. The Antarctic Midwinter
Broadcast is unlike anything else on the BBC World Service. Presented by
Cerys Matthews, it features messages from family and friends at home
as well as music requests from Antarctica. For decades it has been part
of the traditional midwinter celebrations.
