Description
Summary:The project is indebted to Anton Wolfaardt, Darren Peters, Tom Hart, Leigh-Anne Wolfaardt, Mark Tasker and Kalinka Rexer-Huber for their efforts in helping collect samples in sometimes challenging conditions. Funding for the project was supplied by the UK Government's Overseas Territories Environmental Programme (OTEP). Thanks to the Captains and crew of the FPV Pharos SG for deploying and retrieving teams from various field camps around South Georgia and for providing support while ashore. The team would also like to thank the Government Officers and British Antarctic Survey personnel based at King Edward Point (KEP) for their hospitality and support while based at KEP or within Cumberland Bay.
