David L. Harrowfield's Diary
David is a self employed Antarctic researcher, author and publisher from New Zealand. David's hobbies are trapping, climbing, mountain bike touring and he keeps a Polar museum at home. At the age of 60 David went to Antarctica to work as a field assistant in the Australian Antarctic Division's geosciences programme. He spent the 2000/2001 summer at Law Base in the Larsemann Hills on the Ingrid Christensen coast of Antarctica, not far from Davis station.
David's diary begins:
"I am presently on my way to Davis Station which may be reached tomorrow and by Wednesday, I expect to be at Law Base. Here I will be working on a science project until late February. This summer marks 25 years since I started working in Antarctica where much of my time has been spent in the Ross Sea region and involved in historic site conservation although I have done other things as well. My home is Christchurch in New Zealand.
I will be returning to Hobart on voyage 6 (February/March 2001) and then flying back to New Zealand for my annual mountain biking summer vacation."
