From December 2011 to April 2012 I will be working for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) on Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica, on the penguin and seal long-term monitoring programme. From August 2008 to March 2011 I worked on the sub-Antarctic island of Bird Island (part of South Georgia), in the South Atlantic, as Zoological Field Assistant- on the penguin and giant petrel long-term monitoring programme and assisting with seal and albatross work.

Spring arrivals and more...
Day-old gentoo penguin chicks.
The North Stacks and North Cliffs on a sunny day.
Young wandering albatross practicing using his wings.
What beautiful pictures! It's so ironic that I found your blog. I was tracing my dog's pedigree back, and her ancestors were part of the first expedition to Antarctica with Admiral Byrd.
