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.

Back to Bird Island!

After nearly a five year gap, I am very excited to be able to tell you that in January I will be returning to Bird Island, South Georgia, to work for the British Antarctic Survey again.  I’ll be back working with the penguins and other wildlife there for a short (3-month) deployment, returning to the UK in April.

I leave the UK on 11th January.  More details and pictures will follow soon, once things start to happen!
