The human impulse to explore new frontiers has taken us into space and to the deepest, most remote corners of our own planet. HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to one woman who has done both.

She is first and foremost a scientist; as we try to navigate our future, are we properly respecting the science?
