Science Weekly podcast: trapped in Antarctica's icy grip

As Kevin Fong takes over Science Weekly presenting duties for the next seven months, Guardian journalists Alok Jha and Laurence Topham join him for this in-depth interview about their dramatic rescue from a ship stuck in ice in the Antarctic over Christmas.

The Australasian Antarctic Expedition 2013 came close to disaster as the sea ice and icebergs threatened to crush their ship, the Akademik Shokalskiy.
