For the past two days everyone who has recently been employed by BAS who is heading South, attended a conference at Girton College in Cambridge.
It has been an intense two days with short lectures ranging from; antarctic clothing, aircraft and the ships that they use, media and communication but also team building exercises and how to communicate with your colleagues whilst in a confined space.
We will be living and working in a natural laboratory for science, the largest remaining wilderness and the most protected continent on the planet! I feel so privalliged to have the opportunity to go to the Antarctic!
Now onto First Aid for the next few days!
