Merging worlds by Brian Newham

Over the last few days we have seen a few birds around camp. They were just distant sightings but it was a sure sign that summer has arrived and life is coming back to the continent. Late last night the five of us stood and watched as a Twin Otter aircraft appeared from the west. We knew it was coming and had been sending weather reports throughout the day and at last it was nearly with us.

Both scientifically rigorous,…

Greetings to you all and a Happy New Year. Although our news is now vastly reduced, I can, at the very least, pass on best wishes from Ran and the expedition team.

Another Night to Remember

Another Night to Remember

The sky above London was clear last night but you couldn’t see the stars because, ironically, they were obscured by the festive Christmas lighting (electric stars – no less!). It was unseasonably warm too – an unusual combination, so at odds with Antarctica where, it has just been revealed, the lowest ever recorded temperature was experienced in July of this year at -93⁰C. That is well over…

Now and next

Now and next

Inevitably, the day-to-day story is now less compelling although we shall continue to publish further reports as the final chapter unfolds in the months ahead. On…
