Boomerang champions, sticky toffee pudding, and taking a plunge in the Southern Ocean š
As Captain of the RRS Discovery, Stewart Mackay helps scientists explore some of the most remote areas of our oceans.
We joined Stewart onboard for a sneak peek of life on the ship.
Amazing research vessels like this allow us to uncover vital information about ocean health and climate change - but it wouldnāt be possible without the scientists and crew who dedicate weeks (or even months) at sea.
Fun fact: This Discovery is the fourth in a proud line of ships - and this year marks 100 years since the very first was launched for its Antarctic adventure!āļø
Stay tuned for part 2 of the tourš
