Midwinter's is the biggest event on the Antarctic expeditioner calendar.
We kicked things off on the Friday before midwinter, and joined our colleagues back in Hobart, Australia via video link. We held a heritage lunch in the Tasmanian Parks Service artefacts shed. Chef Justin recreated the earliest menu that we could find in the archives (1959), and we dressed in the best heritage gear of the day that we could rustle up.
Fronts of rain and snow swept over the island and it was deafening in our shed during the storms. It all added to the mood of the day!
