Today you will start your 14 day voyage from Ushuaia in Argentina, across the Drake Passage to the world's most remote continent, Antarctica. An Antarctic Peninsula expedition rather than a holiday, be prepared to encounter wild weather, bitter beauty and abundant wildlife.

  • This Is John Rothera, Interviewed by Chris Eldon Lee on the 31St of January 2013
    Edited transcript of a recording of John Rothera, interviewed by Chris Eldon Lee on the 31st of January 2013. MP3 file BAS Archives Reference AD6/24/1/210/1. Transcribed by Jim Madell November 2013 [Part 1 00:00:00] This is John Rothera, interviewed by Chris Eldon Lee on the 31st of January 2013. John Rothera, Part 1. Rothera: -My name is John Michael Rothera, I was born in Huddersfield in the West Riding of Yorkshire on the 17th of January 1934. Lee: How long had you been living in Huddersfield for ? Rothera: I left to go to university when I was 18 and never went back. Lee: Ah, O.K. Where does the name Rothera come from ? Rothera: Ah yes,now. It is.. the origin is Scandinavian; let’s go back a few thousand years. Lee: Please. Rothera: And I know from looking at the books written on people’s names and by almost the man who was my headmaster but left before I started at school, wrote a book on people’s names and he had the name Rothera in it and it’s from there that I learned it was originally of Scandinavian origin. That’s all I know. [ Part 1 00:01:15 ] Lee: Are you the only Rothera in the phone book? Rothera: No. I am in this area but I do know there are some in the Nottingham area and, curiously enough, on holiday once sat on a balcony late at night in Italy, we got talking to the people on the next balcony and she was talking about who she’d been working for and it was the coroner of Nottingham and I said ‘ Oh, he’s got the name Rothera’, she said ‘That’s right ‘ and I said ‘ He’s been coroner a long time hasn’t he?’ She said ‘ No, he was always appearing in the national press just as unusual cases and it wasn’t him all the time’ There was an original Rothera in the post then his son took over and I believe one of the family gang took over after that.
