Part of the expeditioners' training for their time in Antarctica involves Field Travel Training. Most of the wintering crew’s expeditioners have now completed this training involving navigation and travelling in difficult terrain as well as camping out in the field.
While some loved the opportunity to spend time in the field off their regular work, others were very happy to return to the station after some quite demanding hikes.
