In The Big Melt, Rolling Stone contributing editor and leading environmental journalist Jeff Goodell takes the listener up close and personal to one of the world’s most remote locations—Western Antarctica—and to the foot of the staggeringly important Thwaites Glacier.

Join Goodell aboard the Nathaniel B. Palmer, an ice-capable research ship, on its unprecedented journey to study the effects of climate change on the Thwaites Glacier. Get to know why scientists are studying this glacier and discover the chilling facts that make this sheet of ice a real ticking time bomb of climate change—no matter where you live on the planet.

Mr. Goodell’s spirited reporting and narration is augmented with audio recordings courtesy of reporter Carolyn Beeler from the public radio program The World, providing listeners with an incredible sense of what Antarctica sounds like. There are also keen and fascinating insights into the day-to-day workings of a research ship speeding toward one of the fiercest places on earth.

"The Big Melt" phenomenon has shattering, real consequences for all of us. This Audible Original is produced with Rolling Stone in conjunction with Columbia Journalism Review’s Covering Climate Change initiative.

Enjoyed this very much. Informative and really makes you think about all the work that’s going into the research and what we can look forward to if we don’t make changes.

This should be required reading for everyone., whether climate concerned or climate change denial. The author isn’t the best choice to narrate, as his voice is relatively flat - use specialists if you aren’t one. But an exceedingly interesting and topical book.

That the thwait glacier appears to be melting. That much scientific research has been yet to be done and further the research is dangerous, strenuous greatly important not only with the understanding it reveals about what is under a glacier, but also about sea life.

The climate change is here.

Scientific crew visited the melting glaciers in western Antarctica and document how fast they are melting and breaking apart. Most of the worlds coastal cities could be submerged if this is allowed to continue, hopefully their research will change minds and develop a solution.

Excellent new Antarctica documentary
