Living a Life on Ice | Continent 7: Antarctica

Visibility's dance a 15 or 20. Lisa's this: if a man says lying, smile! And when you dress or just hit hunky Dan and white until we've brought a good clearance in the weather, it's you could move.

We'll touch base in sorrow. All right, I'm Tom Arnold. I'm a field trainer with Antarctica New Zealand. I spend most summer seasons down in Antarctica, doing field safety for the science events that come down there. Knowing that it's my responsibility to make sure that everybody can get back to Scott Bay safely is a huge, huge deal.

We believe this to be probably the most dangerous area. The challenge is to betray to people how difficult it is to work down in that environment. Walking on the sea ice, crossing profaned terrain, working on the side of Mount Erebus—the average person needs to sort of be aware of the changes that are happening down there. It's a very isolated continent, and it's very hard to get to.

So the science research that's coming out of there is really important for the future of the climates all over the world, especially in the northern hemisphere. What a small fish in there in the grand scheme of things! Mother nature really has control here.

Yeah, the Adelie penguins are probably my favourite down there, and lots of people like the Empress because of that. They are really beautiful, quite large birds, but the Adélies have got personality. They run around with these big sort of smiles on their face.

Don't come for the home for me—it's coffee! Good coffee down there. So no matter where we go, we'll always take a French press or a stovetop espresso maker with us so we can enjoy a good coffee first thing in the morning.
