Oh man! April was a busy month down here at the South Pole! With all kinds of things ranging from big South Pole happenings like covering the windows, personal milestones like my "Halfway Day", events like Yuri's Night, and much more, it was a really great, action packed month! Check out the video to see everything that happened!! 🙌

I am currently living and working at the South Pole Station through the United States Antarctic Program. I am not down here as a filmmaker or photographer, but instead work in the Logistics and Supply department. All of these videos are being made during my free time and not during working hours. We are very busy down here keeping the station running at maximum efficiency, but I have managed to find some free time to make these short movies!

Loving your videos, for some reason I'm absolutely fascinated by Antarctica and everything that goes on there. So your videos are so insightful and interesting. Anyway I have a couple of questions, how often can you contact your friends and family back home? Is the internet regularly connected? And what time zone does Antarctica cover, as I'm guessing the whole continent covers all the time zones? Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching. Karen.

Hey Karen! Thank you so much for this awesome comment! Those are really great questions as well! If you don’t mind, I will answer them in the May video in the next few weeks! 😊 But seriously, thank you so much! I’m really glad you are enjoying the videos! I’m excited to keep making them 😊

this is really one of the most fascinating video journals I have ever seen. I watch this every summer when it gets too hot outside

thanks for another fun video. love the stories and the views of anything and everything that you can show us. would love to see the aurora borealis in person one day. your enthusiasm, even after being there for months, and the big smiles you have when you're talking about being there, is so great to see. looking forward to more stories and pics and smiles. stay warm and stay safe.

Ahh thank you so much!! That is so nice of you to say 😊 But yes!! You definitely should try to make a point of seeing the auroras. They truly are the most beautiful thing ever ☺️ But seriously, thank you so much! I’m looking forward to making more videos and sharing more about life down here 🙌

Hi, I'm sorry, I haven't been watching you enough yet to catch your name. I'm fascinated by the way you explain your life in Antarctica. I watch a lot of KZfaq and you are really are very good. Your sense of awe strikes a real chord with me. I would definitely feel the same way if I was there watching the Aurora Borealis. Or just the dark of the Antarctic night. I'm north of 50 and stand zero chance of experiencing your adventures. Using my wife's PC right now. My name is Andy and I suppose I'm an armchair adventurer. I live in the Southern England and do best best to get out there and experience this beautiful planet that's been created for us. Looking forward to more videos. Please keep going. Signing off for now. Andy J

When I was there I walked in a circle around the Geographic South Pole marker, but it took me like an hour. i had to stop and change my watch every two feet.

Okay... I did not know you could see the moon at the south pole in winter. Learned something very cool.

@@GoneVenturing Yeah for space nerd stuff :) Not quite pole though! Maybe I'll try get on a trip down if they send a plane haha. When do you get back? I'm in Colorado right now

Heck yeah!! That’s awesome!! And good luck doing that 😜 But I’m here until the beginning of November sometime. I’m hoping to step foot off ice between the 1st and 7th. But then I’m basically heading straight to SE Asia. Getting an apartment in Thailand for a while 🙌

Fantastic look at life at the south pole station. I think the NASA psych research makes sense because a winter at the south pole is probably the most accurate analogue of a trip to Mars. Months long, hostile (but beautiful) environment outside, and dark.

Great video again Viktor and to be honest, this one is more revealing and introspective. And I liked that. You might think it's mundane but given half a chance, plenty of people would like to trade your South Pole adventures. I'm just curious as to how to do spend your free time there - if there are any? On a different video, I saw the gyms and the music room. How is the internet like and how much news in the rest of the World was you able to consume when you're down there? Anyhow, take care and keep the stories coming!

Hey man! Thank you so much for this comment!! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! And yeah, I totally get that. I remember at first thinking that I needed to always try to make these “grandiose” videos but turns out that people are mostly interested by the day to day!! Thank you so much for the question as well! Do you mind if I hold off on answering it for a few weeks and doing it in the May review video?? 😊

Is there a time limit to be outside for everyone as in a set policy for outdoor exposure to the elements?

@luiscortina5017 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Viktor, great video. I've got a couple of questions for you. Is that the McMurdo Station or the Amundsen-Scott Station? Or some other station? Did you arrive on a C-130? Are there flights on or out during the winter months? What is the coldest temperature that you have measured during the winter? You posted this video in 2019. So I imagine you left by now. Best of luck with your travels.

I have always wanted to work down in Antarctica. But, what is the optimal time period to apply for a job down there. I have applied to be a vehicle operator. How likely is it to get one of those positions? I had a friend who spent a couple of tours down there when they were in the military. The stories he told sounded so funny.

@TheCoyoteHill 3 жыл бұрын

Do they have a lot of winter maintenance jobs? I’d like to work at Amundsen-Scott, but I can never find any PAE jobs for the station.

If the cameras are so sensitive, doesn't the moonlight affect them?

@guyprovost 2 жыл бұрын

Every time you open a door to get outside, just for peeking, I freak out because I imagine the door locking up on you, leaving you out at -70. Please tell me there's no locks on these doors in order to let anyone in in a hurry ?

What skills or talents do you have to have to do a seasonal job at the South Pole? What if you already have a job, what do you have to do at your job to do a seasonal job at the South Pole? Do you have to have the covid jab to go?

How do you post your videoss? I assume you don’t have Internet access, or do you?

@redwingblackbird8306 5 жыл бұрын

I work in security, you say you can tell who is who, even in their poofy outfits. Same goes in security, I see people on so many cameras, that off/on camera, even far away I can identify a lot of people also. It has to do with how they move around, what they do wear, and their general shape of their body. Your videos are cozy/campy, just the idea that you can't leave until it warms up, makes me feel that way about the South Pole.

@GoneVenturing 5 жыл бұрын

Oh yeah!! I definitely believe that. You really get to know the people that you deal with on an everyday basis. That’s a really cool comparison!! And thanks! Haha 😜

Nice video but really unfortunate you don't show all your twitter pictures and instagram pictures in the video. I don't like having to follow multiple platforms. Also this was now like a couple years ago and all the twitter stuff is long lost as it's only a snapshot in time and rather difficult to go back in time.
