Icy storms delay research at Antarctica's Scott Base
Icy storms in Antarctica are delaying scientists travelling to Scott Base for the summer season of research. The wild winds and heavy snow have closed the McMurdo Sound airfields. That's delayed New Zealand and American scientists for two weeks - the longest delay in more than 30 years. Simon Trotter is the General Manager of Operations at Antarctica New Zealand. He talks to Susie Ferguson.
