Going to the ice!

So after sitting on this news for the last few months, I can now finally announce where I'm off to later this year.

I'm very pleased and grateful to be one of the recipients of the Antarctica community engagement programme (formerly the Media Programme and Artists and Writers Programme) for the 2016-17 summer season on ice! This is either exciting or scary depending on which way you look at it, and at the moment I'm looking at it both ways. But mostly pretty excited! 

More details to follow about the project I'll be working on. Right now I'm just letting the news sink in. 

Thanks to the A.D.A.M. website for these photos!
