Brad Olsen has spent years traveling to and researching Antarctica, one of the most remote and least understood places on Earth. He joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to share what he has seen and researched on his expeditions, and to walk through the theories he has developed around the continent's history and the secrecy he believes surrounds it.
The conversation covers Olsen's firsthand accounts of exploring Antarctica alongside the broader theories he has spent years investigating, from unexplained sightings to questions about what governments and researchers may know that the public doesn't. Olsen presents these as his own findings and interpretations, built from years of research and travel, rather than settled fact.
