After three days of planning, weighing, rationalising and packing our gear is just sneaking in under the 25.5kg weight limit for flying to Scott Base in Antarctica. Not everything has made the final cut but most has. A huge proportion of this mountain is batteries because the life of batteries plummets dramatically in such cold conditions. Warren and I want to say a HUGE thanks to everyone at Antarctica New Zealand for saying yes to our application to go Antarctica this summer on the their Community Engagement Programme to work with the scientists at Scott Base. Exploring and celebrating 60 years of Scott Base, our project aims to connect new audiences with Antarctica by allowing them to experience the life and work at Scott Base through the eyes of the scientists, explorers and personnel that have been there. Details of the project outputs will evolve over the course of the project but are likely to involve multi-channel immersive video instillation, photography and other online videos.
