Luckily I got back in time to have a Christmas here instead of Antarctica. See you soon! Hi Matt, It made me laugh to think of eating penguin for Christmas.

Great to hear from you. I hope that things are going well. I think I may have missed your comment the first time. Sorry! There is a lot of research going on in Antarctica at the moment. It’s very difficult to list all of it. If you look on the British Antarctic Survey website you will find a full list. There is lots of work going on to do with the wildlife here- work on penguins, seals, sea spiders, krill, seabirds, tardigrades ….. Also work on the phytoplankton and on lichen. People are researching the ozone layer, climate change, deep ice cores to monitor atmosphere changes, sub-glacial lakes, geology, the effects of tourists on the environment. The list is endless as some of the most important science in the world is happening here. I think in the future Antarctica should be protected as much as possible. I think at the moment it seems to be OK, except perhaps for some of the fishing that is happening. I think there should be tighter rules on how much krill can be taken from here as I heard yesterday that there are new krill fishing fleets. I think tourism should be allowed as I think everyone has a right to visit this amazing place, but it should be carefully controlled to minimise impact on the environment. Hope this helps and isn’t too late! HI Saffiya. Great to hear from you. I hope that things are going well. I think I may have missed your comment the first time. Sorry!

Sometimes my hair and eyelashes get frozen. My hands are often cold and my face too, especially my nose. We haven’t put up a Christmas tree yet. I don’t know if there is a tree here! We are hoping we won’t be here for Christmas but we haven’t had any good news about when our plane is going to get in. Any ideas about how I can make a Christmas tree? Lew, it’s cold!
