    @saundersclose  2 роки тому +74

    Well I never thought this would gain so many views in all fairness!! I'm currently working at Scott Base (NZ), Antarctica - This video was originally taken at Casey Station (AUS) and it's in the cold porch, a bit like an 'air lock' so there's another door behind the camera that stops the hot air escaping directly out into the cold.
    From memory I think the wind speed was about 90-100knots that day, around the 175kmph speed? We can leave the building but only in pairs and only if approved for special requirements (e.g. maintenance needs, access to another building, emergency etc) - You would go out with another person, holding onto a line where necessary and radio when you get to your destination etc. The biggest danger here is not necessarily getting blown away (allthough that is possible), it's more getting hit by lifted projectiles that may have not been strapped down...building materials are often left outside strapped but can sometimes work loose, I've seen a 40ft container move 150m overnight so that's the biggest problem. To be honest, if you're out in that on your own, go to ground, get on the radio, get out of the wind....A SAR will be raised and people will come find you in vehicles..
    Anyway, thought I'd log into UA-cam over at McMurdo to see what all the emails were about, glad everyone has watched this, I'm at Scott for the next 12 months so will try and film another cold porch video when the weather kicks in again....But requests for me to throw 'dogs, wives, beer' out the door to see what happens will likely be ignored ;-)
    Stay classy UA-cam - Cheers

    "Ahh, when I was a young lad, we had to walk to school in weather that was worse than this. 10 miles to school and 10 miles back, barefoot because we had no money for shoes, uphill in both directions, into the teeth of the wind and carrying Granny on our backs, braving the fierce wildlife, and without any of these fancy doohickeys you younguns have today. You just don't know how easy you have it."
    "Oh shut up, Granddad. You went to Eton College and you even had a driver take you from the dorm to your classrooms. The farthest you ever walked in your life was from the bed to the toilet."
    He never attended Eton, nor did he see weather like this, but he always had a good story to tell, and the only way you could tell he was lying was because his lips were moving.
