Antarctica to Ascension Island - Fred Davey In this episode, scientist Fred Davey shares a remarkable chapter from his life story, recounting his first voyage to Antarctica aboard the Royal Navy ice patrol ship HMS Protector in the 1960s. What began as a short-term assignment looking after a marine gravity meter became an unforgettable six-month adventure spanning Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, South Africa, Ascension Island, and beyond. Along the way, Fred faced icy isolation, naval traditions, scientific challenges, and chance encounters that would shape the course of his life. It's a fascinating tale of curiosity, resilience, and opportunity from an era when young scientists were given extraordinary responsibilities.
