Helen Sharman sends greetings to the British Antarctic Survey team

Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast

Available for over a year

Every year, the BBC World Service broadcasts a series of audio messages to the staff of the British Antarctic Survey. Britain's first astronaut, who joined the Russian space station MIR in 1991, sends her best wishes and has a pang of nostalgia for working in a team so far from home.
