A new year – A new crop of Antarctic explorers
Here we are – our 7th St Andrews students in the Antarctic expedition will take place in March 2019, same place, same ship, but new people! There’s a new group of entrepid explorers, including students in their fourth (senior honours) year as well as from the MSc programmes in Marine Mammal Science and Marine Ecosystem Management.
We’ve also got a new staff member – Will Cresswell – joining Sonja and the students, as the usual staff explorer Lars is already down South on a big science expedition to the Thwaites Glacier.
Follow us here again as we get ready and then depart for the southern hemisphere on our exciting research and educational trip to the Antarctic Peninsula, taking in sites and stops in Argentina (Buenos Aires, Ushuaia and the Beagle Channel) on our way South.
