Where Does the Waste Go?: A Day in the Life of a Scientist | Continent 7: Antarctica

[Music] Definitely the worst part about Antarctica. So we don't leave anything behind here in the environment. The New Zealand program actually is very thorough in doing that and it's not that bad as it sounds. So I disagree. Uh, yeah, some disagree. Actually, some disagree. Uh, I don't think so. I mean, uh, at least for cologists here out there. I mean, it's cold. We have got us 10, minus 15, something. So normally it freezes very quickly.

Yeah, but not after the morning rush.

Yeah, okay, so you need to hold your nose. Maybe so this needs to be really strong because if you're sitting on a toilet in a storm, you don't want to have that flying away. What did you just put in there? That's a pee kit, one of our most important pieces of equipment at night time when you really got to go but you're not in proper gear and you kind of got to do it in your tent and around your sleeping bag.

It's much easier for guys, you just got your bottle. It's all I don't know, I don't know how girls do it. I’ve never been in the sleeping bag.

You've never done it?

No, there's a technique to it. Not in the sleeping bag, but in the tent. This is what I do. Just like everything else in Antarctica, take your time. Aim is important even for ladies. If you try to fill your pee bottle too fast, you're unlikely to have perfect accuracy. You really don't want to mess up that place.

So if you get in there and you... you... R. It's like at home, everyone would like to have a clean bathroom. So why not keep it clean here?

That tent looks actually now nicer. Send my... send my sleeping tent.

Lunch, lunch time. Lun, okay. Yes, don't... don't eat too much.

Yeah, we are limited in our the number of pee... [Laughter] [Music] buckets. [Music]
