Antarctica - A Week At Casey Research Station

HuffPost Australia spent nine days at Casey Research Station, one of the Australian scientific research facilities in Antarctica. We spoke to the scientists researching the effects of global warming on the world’s largest ice shelf as well as the support staff who keep the station running in one of the coldest and most remote locations on the planet. Video by Tom Compagnoni. interviews by Josh Butler.

Thank you very much for sharing this

Fabulously put together story, Tom. Antarctica is so beautiful, and you wove the human stories with the sense of the place wonderfully well. Thank you.

Dr Lloyd Fletcher was our Doctor on Norfolk Island for period of time. Very good Dr and missed by us. Was so thrilling to see him in his element. Wish I could do a stint there, but really do not have any skills that fit the bill and now pushing on in years.
Thank you to the Scientist and the Team in Antarctica for the work you all do. Love the stories and have been watching the Australian teams as well as the US and am enjoying every clip.

Great work Australia, the guys and girls on station are excellent. Having heard what the Doctor says, sod space, if I were 40 years younger the Antartica is where I would be. Keep safe all and greetings from Portsmouth UK.

Antarctica is the closest thing we have to an alien world on our planet. When we start pushing forward our space programs, Antarctica will be the place to learn from.

Imagine living in a place like that. Just you and your woman. Nobody else. Away from everybody. Plenty of food, drink, weed and sex.
