Between August 2008 and April 2018 I spent a number of years working on Signy Island (South Orkney Islands) and Bird Island (South Georgia) for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). I worked as a Zoological Field Assistant on the penguin, seal and albatross long-term monitoring programme. After a 5 year break, i'll be heading back down to Bird Island in Janary 2024 for another dose of penguin work.

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.

Penguin chicks a couple of weeks later....

Gentoo chicks-there is a lot of krill in the oceans this year, so the chicks are growing rapidly and all looking very fat and healthy.


The Macaroni Penguin chicks are getting massive too!
