Since August 2008 I have spent a number of seasons working on Signy Island (South Orkney Islands) and Bird Island (South Georgia) for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) as a Zoological Field Assistant on the penguin, seal and albatross long-term monitoring programme. More recently I did a short season at Bird Island in Janary 2024 and in November 2025 I returned to Signy Island. In November 2026 I am heading to the Antarctic Continent to study snow petrels and Antarctic petrels.

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.
