S2E6 - Sailing the Open Ocean with Grant Terrell

The 3-masted topsail schooner Oosterschelde is on a two-year journey around the world, following the route taken by Charles Darwin aboard the HMS Beagle nearly 200 years earlier. The voyage is known as the Darwin200 expedition. It’s the brainchild of Stewart McPherson, a British naturalist and science communicator. McPherson and his colleagues organized conservation projects and educational outreach led by young researchers known as Darwin Leaders in each location.

Thanks to The Explorers Club, Scott had the opportunity to join the Darwin200 expedition in in December 2023 as it sailed from Uruguay to Argentina. During the journey, he sat down with Grant Terrell, an ornithologist serving as the ship’s naturalist who is collecting data about seabirds along the two-year, worldwide journey.
