Same Ship, different job

Hello everyone. I am back on the Ernest Shackleton but now I am a qualified officer. I am sailing as third officer.

I flew to the Falklands to join the vessel from Brize Norton UK. The flight was via Ascension and in total took 19 hours. I joined the ship on Saturday morning and we have been doing cargo work, next stop is another harbour in the Falklands to get fuel then down to Bird Island and South Georgia at the end of the week.

This Trip will be an interesting one as we are putting in a science experiment on the Ronne Ice Shelf which is located at the bottom of the Weddel Sea (as far south as you can get on a ship). More of that later.
