After arriving in the Antarctic on December 25 1975, Phil Wolter was shown the ropes of the Geophysical Observatory and settled into the routine to keep the records continuous and of high quality.
Pete interviews Phil on what that routine was and the type of instruments used to run both the seismic and geomagnetic observatories.
Of course, over the following year many things can go wrong. One of these was when Phil became trapped outside while trying to change the records during the most powerful blizzard of the year. Then the head of the Meteorological crew disappeared.
