      I have a question, could you bring instruments to keep in your room? I am a guitarist, and I do not think I could go without guitar for that long, it would feel terrible. Maybe even some light recording equipment idk. I feel like antarctica would inspire some music that I would like to keep to myself for memorabillia

    Antarctica is one of the most important, isolated, and incredible deserts in the world. I fell in love with the continent when I was a youngster, and the ball kept rolling ever since.
    If there was a cure for my chronic pain disease, I would absolutely take the pledge to do work in Antarctica. I would of taken part in mostly meteorology and environmental sciences if I was physically able to make the job. But life had other plans, and I am more than proud of anyone who does this most important work for our planet. Good luck everyone!❤

      @@EverythingAntarctica And thank YOU for all of the hard work you guys do. If it wasn’t for those important pacts between nations to protect Antarctica, we wouldn’t have all of this incredible information about Antarctica today, with incredible minds working every second to paint us all this amazing, colourful and fascinating picture into this very humbling, miunderstood, and unforgiving world at the feet of our planet.
      To me; Antarctica is circulatory system of our Planet Earth. It harbours some of the most unique and rarest phenomenons and lifeforms (microscopic included) in all of the planet. And honestly? Thank goodness it isn’t populated like New York or like Beijing. If we did that, Antarctica would not survive the next 100 years if we were to be honest about our species and our often destructive habits.
      Sorry for the long response, I just have so much respect and pride for this continent to the point where people often find it annoying hahaha!

    What happens if violence or harrassment occurs within the group, while on assignment? Psychological should weed this issue out but nothing's perfect

    • @EverythingAntarctica
      @EverythingAntarctica  5 місяців тому +1

      The psychological screening does play a part but, more importantly, the recruiters have lots of experience building teams and it's evident early on if someone isn't a good fit or shouldn't go down. Most issues that do arise will happen in summer when getting people in and out is easier so usually if people play up, they will be out on the next flight. Thanks for the question
