Episode 033: A High-Latitude Life, Ian 'Spike' Sykes

In the 1960s, Ian (Spike, to his mates, his family, and pretty much everyone else) Sykes spent two years as a dog sled driver for the British Antarctic Survey. With no previous experience, he boarded a ship South and learnt to drive the dogs as he went.In this episode of The Adventure Podcast, Spike regales us with tales of calling mayday on the radio, stitching a dog’s eye socket back together, and listening to the moon landing on his wireless in one of the wildest environments on the planet.
