Training is underway for Antarctic Expeditioners for 2017/18. Time in Hobart for the training will range from approximately 10 weeks for me, down to only a week or so for those coming in just for Summer.
I shall be travelling to Casey Research Station as the Station Leader. It has taken me nearly 18 years to get here, from falling in love with the place on a resupply voyage in 1999… I’m finally going back to fulfil what started so long ago. (I hope it lives up to the dream!)
As we came together, the team for Casey, I’m continually amazed by the disparate group of people with such different backgrounds that will be working together for the year. But I can also see what we’re going to be a great team, they’re a great group of guys and I feel vey lucky to be leading them through this fabulous experience. I know there will be difficult times but also know that we’ll get through them and come out the other side having had a life changing adventure.
