• Gunilla Lindh

  In December 2015 Manda joined her first expedition as a team member off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. She loves to travel and has spent several years abroad both working and studying. One of her greatest passions is marine mammals, which led her to Iceland to study marine biology.

• Thérèse Horntrich
