Max juxtaposes a Christmas concert Alex missed with a scene of Alex singing a carol while in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.

In 2012, on my first assignment for National Geographic, a plane dropped us at Queen Maud Land, 200 miles inside Antarctica.

However, while snowfall increases across Antarctica are expected, the current research only addresses the western part of Queen Maud Land.

Listening to the chatter is like leafing through an atlas - a Lord Howe Island here; a Queen Maud Land there.

Sure enough, the study found that snowfall atop western Queen Maud Land is 25 percent larger than snowfall in the preindustrial era, before the late 19th century.
