Whilst lockdown was a challenge for most - David Knoff was tested in extraordinary circumstances. 

As station leader at the Davis Research Station in Antarctica, David was leading a team of 24 when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Their ride home was cancelled - indefinitely. It was supposed to be a routine mission and instead, became a tense test of uncertainty and anxiety among his team. David was tasked with leading the team to safety and to get them home - something that required resilience, determination and a lot of patience.
