Worth visiting!

south pole tunnel crew, 2001-2002

i was on the night shift.
we drove a few hundred feet of unsupported ice tunnel about 40 feet below the surface: a 6 feet wide – 10 feet tall utility corridor.
it got insulated pipes in the walls with pipes for water and sewer: to and from the station to rodriguez wells 1000ft away.

it was crazy. like being on another planet.
and great food!!!

I would live to go to antarctica but i dont have much money。
Do you have any advice on ways to get to antarctica, places to look for jobs or people to contact.

This is an old comment and I don’t know if you’ll even be checking anymore but I’ll respond anyway. I know you can get a job as support personnel through Raytheon Polar Services. The website is rayjobs.com. You can register and it will send you emails when jobs that match your specifications are available. They said they start hiring from March until August for the Antarctic summer. Thus far no job notifications have been sent to me and I am getting worried I am doing something wrong on the website. So that’s what I know. If anyone could illuminate this situation a little for me I would appreciate it.
