Celebrating The Antarctic Midwinter

Cerys chats to Alastair Wilson, zoologist, and British Antarctic Survey station commander.

As we celebrate Summer Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere, the small staff of the British Antarctic Survey are celebrating Midwinter. He tells us what's in store for this day of celebration, surrounded by penguins, ice and not much sun.

The photo was taken by Alastair and shows the Bird Island Research Station in South Georgia.
