In March 2019, Marco de Kretser travelled to the Antarctic Peninsula as a member of Antarctic Heritage Trust’s fourth Inspiring Explorers’ Expedition. This expedition offered the young explorers a chance to push themselves, to connect with experts, and learn about Antarctica’s history, science, wildlife, and environment, as well as the legacy of exploration in Antarctica. Marco recorded the sounds of Antarctica’s frozen wild—the ice cracking, the birds shrieking—in order to bring those sounds back to the studio and create music inspired by the brutal, desolate, gargantuan landscapes. Marco wanted to create an interplay between the smaller details and larger saws […]
by Francesca Eathorne Blog number five from the Trust’s General Manager Operations and Communications on her first experience of Antarctica. For Francesca’s previous posts, please see the Antarctic Blog feed. I wake up nervous. A sort of excited nervous really. Today is the day we head out to Cape Evans. For me, it’s five days of camping out at a field camp. I’m feeling ready for an adventure and to get off base. We have spent days moving gear and packing and repacking. Everything is weighed and gets packed into two large blue cubers that will be dragged behind […]

For Francesca’s previous posts, please see the Antarctic Blog feed.

Alongside […]
by Francesca Eathorne Blog number three from the Trust’s General Manager Operations and Communications on her first experience of Antarctica. For Francesca’s previous posts, please see the Antarctic Blog feed. Before I can join the conservation team properly I have to complete Antarctic Field Training (AFT). AFT is a rite of passage in Antarctic in many ways. It’s a shared experience because everyone who comes to live and work at Scott Base has to do it. It’s survival training that is both theoretical and hands on, culminating in an overnight camping experience. Given that I’ve never been camping, let […]
I’m a planner. A list writer. Someone who gets deep satisfaction from seeing everything on my to-do list crossed off. So naturally, ahead of my trip to Antarctica I’ve been making lists for weeks. Lists of things to pack, to buy, to remember to do before I go. For me, part of the mental preparation ahead of a big trip is knowing I am as organised as I can be. This trip is different though. There is so much that I don’t know about what I will be doing, and then there’s the fact it’s Antarctica! A totally unknown environment […]
