Cover story: Search rescue

Antarctica is the coldest, highest, windiest, driest and most desolate continent on earth. It is a vast, sparsely populated white sheet that is drier than any desert. For many people the stereotypical image of Antarctica is a land of penguins, seals and icebergs. Did I hear you say what about polar bears? It's a common misconception, but they are only found in the northern hemisphere.
