Episode 035: Life in Antarctica - The Not-So-Common Cold, Tash Burley
Having spent years working for the Royal Flying Doctors in Australia, and a season at Everest Basecamp, Tash Burley spent the 2019-2020 Antarctic season as camp medic for Antarctic logistics specialists White Desert. Amidst tales of hanging out of helicopters, and nighttime landings at remote bush airstrips lit by burning oil drums, Tash considers fear, the importance of staying true to yourself, and following the career path less travelled.
