Louis Day was the Boating Officer at Rothera Research Station in 2022 - maintaining winter boating operations for marine biology, oceanography, and logistics around the station aged just 21 years old.
Host and marine biologist Nadia Frontier talks to Louis about boating and diving in Antarctica, Jack's life-long love of sailing, and how he ended up applying for the job. What does it take to keep operations running on the frozen continent? What did Louis have to do in the "sun-up ceremony" as the youngest member of the team? And why does there need to be a boat in the water when planes take off at Rothera Research Station?
When this episode published, Louis was sailing to King Edward Point Research Station on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia, where he continued his position as wintering boating officer.
