The kids may be going back to school, but the educational TV isn’t about to stop.

Sony Ngatai guest spent 10 days living in Antarctica all in the name of giving children an insight into the importance of the continent and its animal inhabitants.

He spent his time hanging with penguins and seals and even camped out on the snow all in the name of his new TV show – Science on Ice, which premieres on HeiHei and TVNZ On Demand this week.

Ngatai joined Andrew Dickens to discuss life in Antarctica and how he survived the cold.
