In the cockpit of the chopper with Doug the pilot about to take off on a three hour flight to Beaver Lake via Sampson Island for refuelling.
Sitting in the back after refuelling at Sampson Island to give John a go in the front.
Some spectacular scenery.
The Russian ship we come across on the way down in the Sothern Ocean aboard the Aurora. Apparently they are parked up and the team live on the boat while constructing the new Indian base some 30 kilometers away.
This ice breaker was cutting a path ahead of the other ship towards the new base not sure why i assume to get the bigger ice strengthed ship closer.
Landing at Sampson Island for refueling. Note the drums of aviation fuel stockpilled.
