A composer in Antarctica


George and Will Brown's Dad, Chris Cree Brown, came to speak to the Moa Team about his experiences in Antarctica as a visiting composer. During his stint in Antarctica he experienced the harsh Antarctic environment, interacted with the wildlife and recorded many unique sounds, including seals and whales under the water. Chris showed us his snazzy Antarctic sunglasses and, with the assistance of volunteer Matthew Cross, a head torch and a world globe, he demonstrated exactly why the Antarctic has six months of darkness and six months of light.
