Setting Up Camp: A Day in the Life of a Scientist | Continent 7: Antarctica

·Nov 11, 2024

People's ears, noses, feeling that windchill—all the work. So this is our field training expedition. We're just going out overnight tonight, and once we get out there, we're gonna test the Y equipment. So, set up the tent and see how everything works.

We put a really good idea for once we actually get out in the field. I guess part of going out there is the camera crews. We got to go through the same training as everybody else, so myself and Drew are trying to pay attention and trying to avoid the urge to take too many pictures because they leave plenty of time for that. I guess so we're gonna go sleep outside tonight. First time in Antarctica sleep outside.

Damn, we've just had a quick meeting in our little bay there with the whiteboard and gone through a few checks to make sure that we've ticked every box and we haven't forgotten anything vital. And they're more like a mess, wander around to the sign-out book, around the front, sign out for the night in the back one, and the front—it’s roll.

All right, so this is gonna be our home for the night. So this is our area here. I can kind of draw it in a nice, neat line going that—make sense?

Which tent are you boys in? I can never put butch. It's pretty cozy. Yeah, a couple of wee things tonight. That little posh in the top—there's a really good spot to dry things out.

Socks will go straight up there. You strip down and put on a new layer. I generally don't take my socks off; I do wear a hat. Yeah, warm. Also, come on often if it's a really cold night. Lynette gaiter on, and right up and around, you can use your answers.

Yeah, yeah, good night design and pull that over your eyes because you will find these quite light when the sun’s blaring on you. Is this the start? Because it’s gonna get—this is gonna get 24 hours of sunlight.
