This week at Mawson we get a feel for what our Senior Field Training Officer thinks about the place

Them there hills

This is my 4th expedition down to Antarctica. My first at Mawson.

All of the continental stations are amazing in their own right and a long way away from Australia.

But there is something about this part of Antarctica that feels remote. It’s big sky country.

Here are a few photos from the field at Mawson.
