From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies, history is riddled with unexplained events.

You can turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know.

Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt.

My name is Nolan.

They call me Ben. We are joined with our super producer Paul Deckett.

Most importantly, you are you. You are here and that makes this stuff they don't want you to know.

Quick, as we say, people behind their curtain, the four of us are actually relatively well-traveled people.

Although I have never been to Antarctica.

Right, right. And that's the subject of today's episode. Very, very few people have been.

I got very close to going to Antarctica once, number of years ago. Matt, you may remember

it was with with a good friend of ours, friend of the show, who does a lot of write-ups on the

House of Works website about our podcast, Diana Brown. Check out her work if you get a chance.

She was going, her family was going to go on a group expedition.

And Antarctica is one of those places that is very, very expensive to go to by your loonsum, you know.

If for sure. You get a roll deep and get the price cuts. Unfortunately, that didn't happen,

but I'm hoping one day to get to this continent. And I think, you know, it would be a cool thing

for all of us to do because of all of Earth's continents. Antarctica remains the most mysterious

today. It's an ice box. It's a gigantic ice desert. It's one of the last places in the world

that is largely or somewhat the same as it was before what we call the Anthropocene or the

Age of Humans. And you know, it's no wonder there's not much reason for human beings to be there.

Not that it stopped us before. And for a lot of people, this may be weird to think about.

Antarctica wasn't always a frozen wasteland. In fact, it was kind of balming for a while.
