“Our scientific expedition to the Patriot Hills in West Antarctica was one of the most successful field seasons I’ve had. Scott organised the logistics, field camp and field safety expertly. This sound base, constant support and professionalism allowed us to get the science done, whilst enjoying the work in this harsh but beautiful environment.”
