In the beginning....

Well I thought it was about time I joined the hoards of bloggers if only to keep my friends and family updated on my exploits down south.





I joined BAS (British Antarctic Survey) in September as the new Marine Biology Assistant for Rothera Research Station, where I will be based for the next two and a half years. My training started in the UK where I attended a number of courses including first aid, commercial diver training, a chainsaw course (for cutting dive holes through the ice of course!) and boat handling.

I shall endeavour to catch up as best I can (what with it now being January!)
