Volcanologist Samuel Mitchell highlights Antarctica's active volcanoes and how they are researched by scientists today, as well as how volcanoes have affected wildlife and were once home to the whaling industry. Mitchell explains how volcanic and magmatic activity shaped the continent and how tectonic plate movement doomed Antarctica to its icy fate.
