And Somehow, She Persists

For now, I want to share this particularly special experience that is unfolding, right now. I’m on a ship in the Antarctic, specifically the Antarctic Sound on the northeast side of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, with a group of 120 women and non-binary people in STEMM. It’s facilitated by Homeward Bound. Read more here: it’s late, and this girl needs to get to bed.

But I wanted to start a log of our experiences each day, and I need to get caught up before time flashes by and I’m disembarking in Ushuaia in two weeks. Updates will be mostly through photos, as that is the energy level I’m working with currently.

Fi came to Kaikoura about four years ago. She's originally from the U.K. but moved to Oceania to research common dolphins in Auckland and humpbacks in Australia after completing her undergraduate degree in wildlife photography. As fate would have it, a friend connected Fi with Dolphin Encounter and she found herself in Kaikoura working as a dolphin swim guide and photographer.
