Five Women - One Ship - Many Stories

Have you ever wondered what kind of roles exist on an Antarctic expedition cruise ship? Five of our Antarctic women will share their stories with us: what took them on the Antarctic maiden voyage of the SV Douglas Mawson and how they experienced this extraordinary opportunity. Three weeks on the Southern Ocean, on sub-Antarctic islands and in the icy wilderness of Antarctica - what could possibly go according to plan?

Panellists:

Gill Slocum, Australian Antarctic Division Observer.

Lara Colrain, Mawson's Huts Foundation representative.

Helena Baird, Macquarie Island Conservation Foundation representative.

Heidi Krajewski, Ornithologist and Expedition Guide.

Karen Rees, IAATO Independent Observer.
