Last of the on-ice team take part in field training

The last members of our on-ice team have arrived in Antarctica, and have taken part in Antarctic Field Training (AFT) to learn essential skills required for life at our deep-field camp on the Ross Ice Shelf.
The four scientists – Arne Ulfers (LIAG Institute for Applied Geophysics), Linda Armbrecht (University of Tasmania / ANZIC IODP), Luca Zurli (University of Siena) and Yuri Yamazki (NIPR) – and hot water driller Stephen Stretch, had perfect weather for their night out camping at Windless Bight.
