Christmas and New Year's Day were anything but holidays for me this year. I found myself caught in an international media maelstrom when a group of scientists on an expedition to the Antarctic found themselves trapped in ice.
I had foolishly volunteered my services to help them out during the trip earlier in the year, imagining that it would be a relatively trivial commitment requiring a couple of media releases and a few interviews. Instead, it turned into one of the biggest media stories I have ever been a part of and which, until the University of New South Wales took over on January 5, I had to look after entirely by myself.
