The Marion 82 Overwintering Team newsletter is now available. Based on Marion Island as part of the South African National Antarctic Programme (SANAP), the Marion 82 team shares a vivid snapshot of life and work on the island.
This edition features a warm welcome and introduction from Mndeni Hlatshwayo (Team Leader & Medical Orderly) and Andile Kuzwayo (Editor-in-Chief), followed by a “Meet the Team” section introducing the overwintering members. Richly illustrated with striking photographs, the newsletter also highlights the team’s daily activities, captures the unique island environment, and presents insightful weather statistics that reflect the challenging conditions of Marion Island. Together, these stories offer an engaging look at the people, science, and experiences shaping the Marion 82 overwintering year.
