How old do you have to be
@@Chicken_Soy we usually see people between the ages of about 22-65ish
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
@@insignia9028 yep! People often bring guitars and other musical instruments
@@EverythingAntarctica niiice
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!❤
I wish I could go work in Antarctica, but I have a gazillion health issues from an autoimmune disorder. They would hit the reject button and send me down the trapdoor to the trash dump in a heartbeat! 😂😂 But best of luck to anyone who plans to try to go! ❤❤
Sorry to hear that :( glad you’re enjoying hearing about Antarctica and learning a few things
@@EverythingAntarctica I definitely enjoy learning about Antarctica!
Another thing to note is it might be bad if you are on medications due to gaps possible insurance at least here in the states.
@ryanmaris1917 yeah I'm in the States. It would be bad all around for me to try to spend more than a few days in Antarctica. Because I'm also on dialysis.
This ticks all the box's for me ....and has given me more incentive and drive to fulfill my destiny.....I will be in Antarctica soon ...god wills it and it is my destiny ❤thank you guys👍

Do you know how you de-ice the aircrafts down there?
Good question, we will have to make sure we cover this one in an episode and get you an answer

Soooo why can’t you explore there without being in trouble? And how do you even get in trouble other then like losing a limb or death?
We are free to leave the base pretty much whenever we want. We don’t get in trouble
is there psychological tests that is part of the interview process
Yes, but it varies between countries
Do they have any security positions
Not specifically but the skills would be transferable
The vacancies is only for american, or any nation can apply?
Most nations can apply.

Can an 11-year-old kid live with us while both my husband and I work there?
Unfortunately not
So i am working on a degree in chemical engineering. Going to graduate soon. Its a 4 year degree from uw madison. I ve looked on indeed at many of the jobs. Do you think its worth applying with this degree in a year or so ?
Most places will require that you have at least ~5 years experience before they will hire you. Keep it in mind for the future though!
Is weed legal in Antarctica?
What happens if violence or harrassment occurs within the group, while on assignment? Psychological should weed this issue out but nothing's perfect
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
If I go to work Antarctica, are there any uniform requirements or things I should keep in mind for the clothes I bring?
Most of the cold weather clothing you need will be issued to you, but definitely take a set of nice clothes for some of the fancier events throughout the year
@@EverythingAntarctica thank you!
