A couple of days ago I camped out on the King George VI Ice Shelf, managed to vaguely help out with some science for the Firn Aquifers project too! ⁣⁣ @BAS_News #antarctica #camping #twinotter #dhc6


Life update: A few weeks ago I accepted a job at RVL, as a pilot on their Cessna F406 fleet. This will be single pilot survey work, in a pretty fast twin. Needless to say I’m pretty excited to be kicking off my career here, really looking forward to this chapter!

Enter if you dare ☠️ Deception Island, located off the Antarctic Peninsula, is one of the only places in the world where ships can sail directly into the center of an active volcano. #Landsat 8 captured this image in March of 2018. go.nasa.gov/3Q1vMgp ⛴️🌋

After ten years of scrimping and saving and spending my life’s savings, I’ve finished all the courses to actually start working as a pilot (other than actually getting a job and type rating…)

The negative Antarctic sea ice anomaly has continued to widen for many weeks to the now historic gap. Ice growth has been much slower than typical, and recall that this February also set the new record low for the seasonal minimum. Seasonal cycle graphs zacklabe.com/antarctic-sea-…

After 9 and a half months, ATPLs ✅ 13 subjects 20 hours 45 minutes of exams 671 questions I don’t envy anyone who’s done both UK and EASA and doubled those numbers… But they’re done. So yay.
