🔥🔥🔥 the edit tho

Is this at Mc Murdo station or at the South Pole station?

Pretty eye opening I've wanted to go to Antarctica since 2017 when I left the us military. But I do have a question. This video here seems to be taking place during the so-called summer months what is it like during the winter months? Have you done a tour during the winter? I was looking at some jobs, and they have primarily winter openings in the custodial and food related sectors. Quick overview of me I am a 4-year Navy corpsman veteran, I have Arctic Warfare training, the Marine Corps unit I was attached to was designated Arctic Warfare battalion. Prior to that I have restaurant experience. And I'm currently in flexographic printing. Been doing that for 10 years. So I think I would be an asset down there.

At what temperature do they ground the planes?

Thanks for sharing your experience with observing Adelie penguins! The trip-and-fall part was funny LOL. And the clip of the ice breaker looked really cool too - were those seals along the ice in that clip? I didn't know that sightings of them are more common around McMurdo when the ice starts melting along the Ross Sea. Is it because they breed along rocky coasts around this time? And do you know where they go when they're not around? I wonder if they commonly enter the station grounds if they're not very afraid of humans - have you seen them around? Nice video!

Hey Aidan, been enjoying or having nightmares from your take on life at Mcmurdo, I was there with you as part of the GUSTO crew. definitely an experience i will never forget.....rations sucked

1st! Can't wait!!!

About to head down there with NCHB1 to offload. Excited to visit and work

Long Putt! The legend continues.

What a great video Aidan! Keep up the great work!

If you’re over the age of 77 then you most definitely have dealt with rationing.

But despite of that there seems to be a quite relaxed and convenient atmosphere in the bars. I am surprised, that there meet such a lot of people in the bars at night.

Yes you can but it has to be between you and the person you are selling your ration

So can you sell your rations if you don’t drink?

You’re supposed to do that. Then get in a sauna to warm up

That was actually really Cool. Congratulations on your Polar plunge. Not many people can say that they did a Real Polar Plunge.

Never have i heard weddell seals sound so bad before.

I was Heo set for the 16th Had some set backs But I’m still hopeful I’ll be out there soon

Watching this reminded me of Pykrete. Essentially mixing sawdust into ice. During Ww2 they were experimenting with using it to make a massive aircraft carrier. I wonder if they have ever experimented with pykrete in Antarctica?

Weddle seals 🦭 😭

they are the cutest beans!! thank you for sharing these awesome shots

Pretty cool I just got off the ice 1.5 mouth ago . I did summer and then I winter over at McMurdo I was there for 10mths it was a great time there at McMurdo Station

A guy I know from my small town in Florida is there this year making the traverse, his name is Daniel. I have to say that is a pretty cool gig that he applied for and he’s doing. He’s gone have some good stories because we are not used to anything he’s dealing with right now. Haha

There are some good examples for fresh water production and other infrastructure topics in Antarctica on: brr.fyi

But this can only be done by stations nearby the sea. How do they get their water at AS South Pole Station? I assume, by melting ice.

We should not be in dubai for the same exact reason

Is the diesel shipment cheaper than shipping water ?

Can you not just melt the ice

Diesel-ination?

Could a well be drilled and would it actually have fresh water? In a drilled well, could the soil filter out the salt in the water?

😍

🙂

I just got back from Antarctica i was deployed to McMurdo Station i was there for 10 months and now im going to the South Pole in January 16th 2025 for the winter ill be there for 10 months I'm so excited

Have u got to play with any skyice yet?

Is this the large passenger vehicle operator position for amentum?

It's all about the pit-vipers.......😎

the round spinny windows are high tech window wipers. they shed the water by spinning constantly at high speed and you can always look outside

hello Aidan! Many typos and mistakes in the subtitles(the one imbedded in the video) (boat are now birds, etc). Have you use AI to generate them? Very interesting content! Thank you for the video.

I am a plank owner on this ship from 1976 to 1980 first crew on this ship. I made the first two trips to Antarctica. The ship looks a lot nicer now than it did back then. We didn’t have satellite communications and nice uniforms. I hate to see it being mothballed like the Polar Sea.😢

Our son is headed McMurdo with a Basler from Boreck ( an Engineer). He is over at A.L.E now but plans change daily. Lol

They installed it only some years ago. In former times a similar, may be smaller, installation was (is?) on Black Island. Do you know, why they choose Black Island for this first, instead of building them on Arrival High from beginning? Because it is much more "unconvenient", running them from Black Island. Is the internet provided via that dongles? Do people at McMurdo have access to the internet VIA HANDY, but only via laptop. Because I heard, that at Scott Base, they have access via handy, but I do not know if this is true.

This is so cool! Just subscribed

I have seen many large antennas, but this thing is fast!

Quite funny that there are signs for truck and van parking "in the middle of nowhere" (probably on Ross or McMurdo shelf ice).

This is really cool thanks for showing this to me. Do you work at a site? If so please do a a day in my life or just how it is working there.

clickbait title. why do they travel?

What is this for? Studying the rocks after you blow them open?
