S2 Ep1: How did people get to Antarctica in a pandemic?

The RRS James Clark Ross set sail from Harwich on 4th November 2020 with a group composed of the British Antarctic Survey staff and ship’s crew. It was a rare opportunity for those due to take up positions in Antarctic research stations when their first two month of the job begin with being confined to a ship for eight weeks. You can find out more about Antarctic research and logistics by visiting the British Antarctic Survey's Website or by listening to future episodes of this podcast 🎵 I hope you enjoy this eclectic mix of short interviews. Such a voyage was an unique experience for many and stands in stark contrast to the familiarity of a casual kayak trip, or a day out on a dingy. Disclosure- I am new to podcasting and this is my first episode therefore the sound is all over the place, clipping etc. sorry if you’ve adjusted your volume many times. This is the first episode of the 2022 series.
