Film Photography in Antarctica. Capturing Light with Rewa Rendall
Raised on the rooftop of a high-rise building in Hong Kong, Rewa’s desire for a unique perspective has taken her beyond the frame and into the remote landscapes of Australia, New Zealand, Europe and across the Southern Ocean to the Antarctic Peninsula.Touched by the magic of her father developing his own photographs, Rewa has gone back to the beginning of Photography. She is tracing the footsteps of Antarctic pioneers Frank Hurley and Herbert Ponting, the techniques and resilience needed to step into the frame.Rewa has been chasing light most of her life. Celebrating 50 years this month. Her adventurous past is frozen in time. Antarctica is one of the most isolated places onearth - it is otherworldly, and yet she has made it part of her everyday….Check out her work at rewarendall.com—————————————————————————

Science in the McMurdo Dry Valleys and Environmental Management in Antarctica- Pete Taylor
Pete’s diverse experience in environmental management spans climate risk modelling and management in the Finance Industry, to technical advising in a project delivering data infrastructure that enabled next generation water use forecasting, however, Pete’s first foray into the Antarctic in 2014 was as a student at Canterbury University. In this project, he undertook field work at Lake Vanda in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, looking at legacy environmental contamination from a former station site and investigated impacts (if any) on the pristine Lake Vanda.In his career, Pete joined Antarctica New Zealand in 2019 as an environmental manager where he led the delivery of the environmental strategy for the Scott Base Redevelopment Project. His role included leading projects such as the design and implementation of a bespoke sustainable design standard (Green Star) for Antarctic construction, developing and implementing of all environmental management and monitoring plans, and the publication of the Comprehensive Environmental Evaluation.Peter has presented on Antarctic environmental management to the Committee for Environmental Protection (CEP) to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM), the Scientific Community on Antarctic Research (SCAR), the Council of Manager of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP), and as an invited guest at the NZ Planning Institute's Annual Conference.

Flight Day - Going to Antarctica - Everything Antarctica Podcast
This week on the podcast we talk through what it's like on the day you fly to Antarctica. We dive into everything from the moment you get up through the day to when you finally get to bed. Hopefully you get a feel for some of the moments which make it a special day for anyone heading south and what a long but exciting day it really is.
The "Everything Antarctica" podcast was made to share stories and information about Antarctica. During the heroic age of exploration, explorers wrote journals or kept diaries of their adventures, but the art of recording one's experiences is slowly disappearing.
Two knowledgeable Antarcticans, Matty Jordan and Jonny Harrison, think that talking to people about Antarctica is important. With a combined experience of three Antarctic winters, 13 trips, and over 1200 days "on ice" there isn't much they can't credibly discuss.
We hope you will learn something from every episode and enjoy the show!
