It's the last in our run of episodes about Antarctica. We are all back home, and we promise to stop bothering the poor continent. Thom couldn't talk about it until after the press release, but the Schmidt Ocean Institute cruise he was on had to look at the seabed under a 150-meter-thick ice shelf right as it moved out of the way. We talked to the science leads on that cruise, Patricia Esquete and Sasha Montelli. We learned about the hydrography and glaciology of that region and then the seabed and communities that were revealed when the ice shelf moved away.

It's the last in our run of episodes about Antarctica. We are all back home, and we promise to stop bothering the poor continent. Alan and Thom discuss returning to an inbox of horrors and readjusting to time away. More cable cutting in our news updates, blobfish being voted fish of the year, and the tongue-eating louse potentially being invertebrate of the year. We don't want to say we influence the news, but it seems a little spooky. Thom couldn't talk about it until after the press release, but the Schmidt Ocean Institute cruise he was on had to look at the seabed under a 150-meter-thick ice shelf right as it moved out of the way. We talked to the science leads on that cruise, Patricia Esquete and Sasha Montelli. We learned about the hydrography and glaciology of that region and then the seabed and communities that were revealed when the ice shelf moved away. Kat and Thom updated us on what it was like to join a tourist expedition ship, and we grabbed a Coffee With Andrew to learn what it was like to dive almost 5km deep in a sub.

Brendan McFarlaneOn Tuesday we buried our friend and comrade Brendan McFarlane. Bik texted me just over 2 weeks or so ago to say he was back in hospital. He had been battling cancer for some time. A few days later the medics stopped his treatment. There was nothing else they could do for him. Suddenly and unexpectedly he was gone. He died peacefully surrounded by his loving family.My solidarity and sympathy to Lene, a mighty woman, and to their children Emma, Tomás and Tina, his brother Gerard and the wider family circle. His loss for them is immeasurable. For his countless friends and comrades his death is a deep blow. Fáilte abhaile LeonardLeonard Peltier was finally released from prison in Florida last week. The 80-year-old political prisoner had spent almost the last 50 years in prison protesting his innocence. Leonard is a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and he now on his reservation in North Dakota. His family and friends gathered to welcome him home. After his release he said: “They may have imprisoned me but they never took my spirit!” and he thanked “all my supporters throughout the world who fought for my freedom.” Fáilte abhaile Leonard.Taking A Stand.The decision by Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald and Leas Uachtarán Michelle O'Neill not to attend the St. Patrick's Day events in the White House and the Speakers lunch on Capitol Hill, will undoubtedly upset some of our friends across Irish America. This is very understandable. Sinn Féin's access to successive US administrations was won after decades of very hard work by many people across North America. Understandably they do not want to jeopardise or lose that influence. It is worth noting that in the past Sinn Féin has always attended White House events when invited, including during President Trump's first term in office.So the Sinn Féin decision was taken after much deliberation. The catalyst for this was the recent statements from President Trump in which he calls for the expulsion of over two million Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip, his refusal to countenance their return and his proposal that the United States of America will take over the region. The decision would have been the same had a democratic President called for the expulsion of two million Palestinians.
