It’s great to be back home!

Just over the equator, the sun is out and LPT Cook (Clubz) is on a mission. 24hrs of workouts - one workout every hour on the hour. Who will last all 24? 💪 Link below if you wish to support the event in aid of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity justgiving.com/page/24

Scientists from @portsmouthuni are on a mission aboard @HMSProtector to safeguard one of the world’s most fragile environments. Dr. Keiron Roberts and the @UoPPlastics team collected water and sediments samples in Antarctica to measure human impact from tourism. #BSW25

We enjoyed visiting @RoyalCanNavy ship #HMCSMargaretBrooke and hosting them onboard PROTECTOR in Punta Arenas to share our experiences of #Arctic and #Antarctica operations before they head south. Fair winds! 🇨🇦 🇦🇶 🇬🇧 🇨🇱 @UKinChile @UKinCanada

Alongside Punta Arenas 🇨🇱 five members of the Ship’s Company of PROTECTOR took part in the ‘Supera tu Marca’ 10km run 🏃‍♂️ . All did well, including a couple of personal bests, and a second place 🥈 podium finish for the First Lieutenant!

Happy Christmas from Rothera!

To mark the anniversary of the Battle of Coronel, members of the Ship’s Company, supported by our Chilean friends paid tribute at the memorial in Coronel to the 1,660 Royal Navy Officers and sailors who were lost 110 years ago today. @UKinChile 🇬🇧 🇨🇱

While the Ship undergoes maintenance in Talcahuano, Chile a group of us took the opportunity to take part in the Concepción Half Marathon and 10km run. Great atmosphere and we got a shout out for bringing the weather! 🇨🇱
