What is it Like to Live in Antarctica? | Antarctic Extremes

Antarctica is cold, windy, isolated, barren, and often downright dangerous. Yet somehow, people manage to live there. (Some even enjoy it!)
Subscribe! kzread.info?su...
People have been visiting Antarctica for over a century-and hosts Caitlin Saks and Arlo Pérez can actually see what living there used to be like, because some of the early explorers left all their stuff! Ernest Shackleton’s ill-fated ship Endurance was only recently rediscovered, but the 1910-1913 expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott (more commonly known as the Terra Nova Expedition) left its “home-base” hut still intact, and it’s now a museum. Inside one finds all the trappings of early Antarctic life: seal blubber, science experiments, and of course a desiccated penguin.
Today, living in Antarctica is a bit different. But still, an eclectic band of scientists and support personnel are drawn to the continent and, every year, a crew makes their home on “the ice.” Starting at the U.S. Antarctic Program’s McMurdo Station and then while exploring Antarctica’s natural wonders-glaciers, a volcano, Weddell seals, and even weird fish-Arlo and Caitlin meet the people who find themselves in Antarctica year after year.
But will they be able to discover what it is about this icy, seemingly inhospitable place that’s so alluring to geologists, astrobiologists, and waste managers alike?

It's great as long as we take care of the environment and try to be less destructive along the way. Like we're doing now, just slowly though. Certain animals like even sloths and Shoehorn Crabs have simple things in or on their bodies that can cure our illnesses and increase immunity. It's pretty cool.

    Yea i feel that. Like I am sure they work really hard and have tons of problems. But I would give a lot to have that sense of comradery that comes with living and working with the same group of people and working at least somewhat outside the world of optimizing for profit. Like I remember going to a few things in grad school where I just worked with people for a couple weeks while living in dorms and it was some of the happiest times of my life. The lack of internet access would help too. Somehow we messed up society in making that feeling rare today.

    I think the positivity is just on a different level when you get to spend more time with people who know exactly what their greater purpose it, I think these scientists are very selfless. Some of them may not even be earning as big as what people in investments are earning, the fact that it takes an entire village to support their needs, I think that’s something to be really thankful for already. I find it wierd up to this day however, that the scientists are paid less than those who do trade, commerce, finance. I think what holds are future is far more important and valuable than mansions and etc..,

    Then one of the upcoming episodes is definitely for you (hint hint). Antarctica actually offers astrobiologists a glimpse into what the environments on cold, icy worlds like Mars, Europa, and Enceladus might be like. And some of Dr. Schmidt's research has pivoted to better understanding glaciology and climate change here on Earth (she's currently a principal investigator of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration). We're so glad you're enjoying the series, btw!
