Short Talk Series: Naval Support Force Antarctica

Join Ric Hyden, Roland Janek and Robert Janek for a journey back in time to Antarctica.
Ric, Robert and Roland were all part of the support force in Antarctica providing crash rescue and logistical support to operations on the ice.
Ric is a retired United States Air Force serviceman, while Robert and Roland both served in the RNZAF in Antarctica.
Join them for a talk on survival in the coldest place on earth, including lasting six hours in a survival suit dipped in the Ross Sea – just for practice!
Learn all about Antarctic logistics, types of aircraft used on the ice, crash rescue, aircraft recovery and the comradeship of working on the ice with penguins for company.
