A Summer in Antarctica J. J. Jones

The writing in this book refers to a construction project that I was lucky enough to have being chosen to take part in on behalf of the British Antarctic Survey. The Project took place at Rothera Station, Adelaide Island, Antarctica, in the summer season of 1994/95. The project was to continue with the on-going regeneration of the accommodation and working structures at Rothera Station. The experience of working on the Antarctic continent was truly amazing and having being well travelled with my previous employments, nothing compared to the sights that I witnessed from leaving the Falkland Islands until we reached Adelaide Island at 67 degrees South, 68 degrees West in late November 1994. Today, I am based in Birmingham, England and I spend my time working and travelling between the United Kingdom and Turkey. I wrote this book through a diary of events relating to a construction contract that I was involved in on the continent of Antarctica.
