Don Webster knows a little bit about isolation and how to handle it, he spent a summer and winter in the 1960s in Antarctica, working as a technician at Scott Base. He's now published a book called Scott Base Antarctica: The Early Years, which is jam-packed with photographs and research about how the base was set up and how it evolved over time. He joins Kathryn to share details of what life was like on the ice while "wintering over" - when night lasted all day.
