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.

Photos from the journey

Evening light over the South Shetland Islands.

The "real" Antarctic at its best.

Adelie penguin (one of my study species this year).

Down the Crevasse at Rothera.

The JCR leaves clear tracks behind it through the ice-covered ocean as it continues on its way.

I do like the pic of the JCR "ice-clearing". It sums up your "get paid to go on an antarctic cruise" trick nicely :-)
