Breaking The Ice with Tim Bowden - Episode 2 - 1996 Australian TV Program

Tim Bowden takes us on one of the last great adventures - a voyage to the Australian Antarctic Territory in this spectacular six-part travel series.

Over a period of two months, Tim visited all four of Australia's Antarctic stations at Macquarie Island, Casey, Davis, and Mawson. The result is a fascinating 'behind the scenes' look at what Australians are doing in Antarctica - a wild and beautiful icy wilderness that has attracted adventurers and scientists since the days of Scott, Shackleton and Mawson.

Highlights include spectacular views of Australia's only ice-breaking ship Aurora Australis charging through the pack ice, a visit to a new Emperor Penguin colony the day after it was discovered and superb footage of penguins, elephant seals and albatrosses on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island.
