Hadleigh recommends:
What skills do you bring to the job?
"Practical skills - Zodiac and firearm handling. My strong interpersonal skills, and my experience in the field as a member of the Expedition Team."
What keeps you coming to work?
"The challenges that go hand in hand with operating in some of the most remote areas on the planet. I enjoy challenges."
If you could time travel, which historic expedition would you join, and why?
""I would have liked to join the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897-1899) aboard the ship Belgica. It included some very notable individuals - Frederick Cooke and Roald Amundsen. Amundsen learned some of his most pertinent lessons through the hardship of the expedition. These were central to his later success."
