This episode was conducted live from Rothera Research Station. In addition to discussing Rothera, we also explore what it's like to be a fisheries scientist at another British Antarctic Research Station, King Edward Point, located on South Georgia.


I wintered with Alice Clement (Lyss) from January 2022- March 2023 in the Rothera Marine team. Lyss was originally appointed as the Winter Diving Officer. Due to a series of events, winter diving ceased at Rothera. Lyss stepped up and took on responsibilities of the Marine Assistant position in addition to maintaining diving equipment.


Later episodes will focus on Rothera winter Dive officers and overwintering Marine Assistants. This episode is more about Lyss's journey into working with the British Antarctic Survey.
