3: The J.C.R.

In this episode of "The Coldest Shift," Rachel interviews Gail, a second mate with a passion for penguins, about her work with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the hierarchy on the ship, and Nadia, a marine biologist, about her research on benthic species in Antarctica, including their growth rates and diets, and the impact of climate change on these ecosystems. Rachel also shares anecdotes about life on the James Clark Ross, including the arrival of the FIDS, her early morning gym routine, and teaching the catering team how to suture using a pig. The episode also touches on ship traditions, wildlife encounters, and testing the ship's x-ray machine.
