Nearly home after a magic couple of weeks — so many highlights, but hard to beat the dolphins spotted after teaching at @udemagallanes
And finally Tayana Arakchaa on the weird and wonderful history of how Antarctic krill was marketed as a superfood in the USSR!
Roman Khandozhko presenting some great new research on Soviet imaginaries of Antarctic minerals at the Tensions of Europe conference — a really interesting take on how this reflected wider trends in Soviet conceptions of territory and resources.
