About this Event

The Maiden Antarctic Voyage of the SV Douglas Mawson. In Conversation with the Antarctic Women's Network.

Have you ever wondered what kind of roles exist on an Antarctic expedition cruise ship? Five of our Antarctic women will share their stories with us: what took them on the Antarctic maiden voyage of the SV Douglas Mawson and how they experienced this extraordinary opportunity. Three weeks on the Southern Ocean, on sub-Antarctic islands and in the icy wilderness of Antarctica - what could possibly go according to plan?


Panellists:


Gill Slocum, Australian Antarctic Division Observer.

Lara Colrain, Mawson's Huts Foundation representative.

Helena Baird, Macquarie Island Conservation Foundation representative.

Heidi Krajewski, Ornithologist and Expedition Guide.

Karen Rees, IAATO Independent Observer.
