Members of HMS Protector's Ship's Company are shown around the huge base by McMurdo personnel during their visit. After sailing from Christchurch, New Zealand on 3 February, HMS Protector passed through the gales and storms which dominate the southern ocean to reach the US Antarctic McMurdo Base on Ross Island in the Ross Sea. McMurdo base is the largest area of human habitation on the Antarctic continent with approximately 1000 people working there during the summer months. It is also a hub for stores and support to resupply a number of other bases in the region, included the South Pole base and the New Zealand Antarctic Scott base 3km away. HMS Protector sailed from Plymouth in early October, travelling the long way East via the Suez Canal, Oman and Western Australia to Hobart so that she could conduct CCAMLR inspections in the Ross Sea. A recent visit to Christchurch, New Zealand, was very successful to develop liaison with the Antarctic community in the region. The majority of the Austral Summer period will be spent on the Australasia/Pacific Ocean side of Antarctica, an area of the continent that the UK has not had a maritime presence in for nearly 80 years. HMS Protector conducts patrols on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, surveys for the Hydrographic Office and provides logistic support to the British Antarctic Survey. The Ice Patrol Ship and her highly trained crew are well equipped to deploy personnel and equipment ashore in order to conduct operations.
