ANTARCTICA 2010-11


Hi All,
LOOOONG time with nothing from me here, as the past couple of years have been very busy and I am also quite bad at remembering this.But turns out that I have been selected to be an Antarctica NZ 'Feild Trainer' for the 2010-11 summer season.
My Job will be to deliver to all who come onto the ice at the NZ end (Scott Base) their antarctica survival and safety training, which looks like some 300+ people this season. As well as this rather exiting but daunting job I am also a member of the JASAR-Joint Antarctica Search and Rescue team along with the american contingent of my 'compadres' from McMurdo the USAP base. Or 'Mac Town' as it is know by the Kiwis.
I will try and keep this up to date with currant pics and stuff throughout the summer season which has started for me in Aug but I arrive in Ant. My fly down date is the 28th Sep. I have attached a Pic of my Iisued work uniform for Antarctica.
Talk soon.
