#BLAKEAmbassador Rachel Worthington spent most of last summer camping in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica bundled up against -5C temperatures.
Chosen from more than 100 applicants who applied for the Ambassador role, Rachel joined programme manager Jacob Anderson and scientists from Italy, New Zealand, Norway, and Switzerland to help understand how much greenhouse gas is locked up in the Antarctic permafrost.

Last week we celebrated 30 years since Sir Peter Blake and the crew of #Steinlager2 made sailing history in the 1989/90 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race. In this video Peter (PJ) Montgomery and original crew members Mark Orams and Tony Rae share their memories of the historic race and the ongoing role of ‘Big Red’ with the NZ Sailing Trust.
