Description

Robert Swan talks about his expedition to the Antarctic. He says that being home is a great relief because he and Roger Mear had only a few hours sleep since arriving at the South Pole. He pays tribute to the three expedition members still in the Antarctic, who will spend another winter there, and concludes by thanking Roger and Gareth Wood (the latter having stayed behind to clear up) and other members of the project team for their help.
