Had a great time last weekend visiting the U.S. scientific icebreaker- the Nathaniel B Palmer. She docked in Lyttelton harbour (New Zealand) to resupply before sailing back to Antarctica to resupply Palmer Station. This is now the fourth icebreaker I’ve had the pleasure of looking around!

Don’t think I’ve ever stressed over a game of golf I’ve been playing, let alone watching. Rory, get it together.

Heading to Fiji soon to defrost 🥶. Never been before. Any recommendations for places to stay and things to see and do?

This is the training regime undertaken by the first German to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole. It was awesome to listen to Roland Krüger speak about his adventure where he covered ~1,000km over 50 days in Antarctica. Absolute legend
