Camping on ice!

During their Antarctic Field Training (AFT) Dianne and Carol camped out on the ice with members of the SWAIS2C team, who were preparing to head out to the Western Ice Shelf.

All newcomers to Scott Base undertake AFT to equip them with the necessary skills to operate safely and responsibly in the Antarctic environment.
