An excerpt from this radio play, which was the ABC's entry in the prestigious Prix Italia in 2009 and won that year's Australian Writers' Guild AWGIE for best radio adaptation. Written by Catherine Ryan and performed by Glenda Linscott and Daniella Farinacci, this production makes extensive use of field recordings from journeys to Antarctica made by Margot Foster and Ron Sims, recordings of natural radio by Stephen P McGreevy, and harmonic singing by Linda Lassi. Sound design by Garry Havrillay. Produced and directed by Justine Sloane-Lees.
