Episode description

In this episode, we interview our friend, Jason and ask him all about his experience visiting Antarctica as part of a SANAE overwintering team. Although we hardly stuck to this list we touched on:

Why he went to Antarctica?

Daily routine and practical matters like taking a shower.

Sharing a confined space for 15 months with the same 9 people.

Highs and lows of the experience.

Cooking and eating from a limited selection of ingredients for more than a year.

Why there are no Polar Bears in Antarctica.

What to do to keep yourself entertained.

Does it take a certain type of person to do this?
