Over the holidays I have become slightly addicted by Radio 4, whilst listening to Woman’s hour, don’t ask why, there was an interesting article on women in the Antarctic. The interviewer asks the women about their time working at Halley, the British Antarctic Survey’s base. There is a nice webcam of the station. If you want to listen to the interview, you can download it here, under Wednesday.
I thought this was a great find, because I was slightly worried about the heroic man perspective of life on the continent and how this would appeal to the girls.
Two of the women have websites, Gemma Clarke blogged during her time at the station, there are some wonderful images; whilst Alex Gaffikin’s website gives a comprehensive account of her time on the continent.
