Shackled: Chris Turney’s Story

Posted on: Mon 31 Jul 2017

“Antarctica is like a rogue neighbour… you just never know what they’re going to do”.

It was meant to be a simple scientific expedition but climate change scientist, Chris Turney’s 2013 journey to Antarctica quickly became a fight for survival.

Ahead of the release of his book, Shackled: How a Scientific Expedition to Antarctica became a Fight for Survival, Chris chatted with Tom Mann about his experience and the importance of Antarctica.
