Welcome to SciShow Tangents Rewind! Each week, we’ll be bringing you an old episode of the show, in original airing order. Whether you’re listening through for the first time or rediscovering old favorites, there’s something for everyone! Enjoy!
From sugary snow cones to WWII plans for an aircraft carrier made of ice and wood pulp, humans have had big dreams for frozen water. So this week, we’re exploring the science of snow and ice across the globe. Turns out, there are ancient refrigerators in the dry Iranian desert and abandoned military bases under the Greenland ice sheet. And even though Japanese snow monkeys seem all cozy and chill in their hot springs, what mischief do they get up to in their free time?
Original Airdate: January 8, 2019
