Between August 2008 and April 2018 I spent a number of years working on Signy Island (South Orkney Islands) and Bird Island (South Georgia) for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). I worked as a Zoological Field Assistant on the penguin, seal and albatross long-term monitoring programme. After a 5 year break, i'll be heading back down to Bird Island in Janary 2024 for another dose of penguin work.

This blog gives readers an insight into my day-to-day life in the Antarctic, from my first trip south in 2008 to the present day.

A few pictures of home on a sunny summers day (and no, there is no snow- its summer)

Looking West from the top of La Roche (the highest point on the island) towards Willis Island. The base can be seen in the distance.

Looking East, over Bird Sound- the 500m stretch of water that separates us from South Georgia itself.
