The date of the recording was February 2, 2015 at 2:20AM (GMT+12). I was unable to upload this from the South Pole directly because of the crap internet we receive there (see my blog for more details). I left the South Pole before station close on February 11, 2015 and began a month-long backpacking trek around New Zealand! (Again, see my blog for more!) maddymck.wordpress.com :)

None of those things. Spotty internet access with no streaming capability (no Skype, Netflix, etc.). There is an endless supply of good old-fashioned VHS tapes and DVDs. There's a library. The individuals down there are highly creative, there is lots of musical and artistic talent. You learn to not rely on internet access for entertainment, something I think too many of us succumb to these days.

Sorry, I'm absolutely horrible at responding to comments. Here's a timelapse from a much better photographer/videographer than I: vimeo.com/208466944 The south pole experiences one long day and one long night per year. Day officially begins on the austral spring equinox (northern hemisphere or boreal autumn equinox) and ends on the austral autumn equinox (boreal spring). The day and night are accompanied by weeks of sunset/sunrise! For more exact details please see: www.timeanddate.com/sun/antarctica/south-pole There is plenty to do at South Pole if you're a self-motivated individual! The craft room is essentially limitless if you're creative, many folks are wonderful musicians and we have open mic nights, concerts, and recording equipment too! Personally, I binge-watched a lot of TV and movies. It's quite typical actually: wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, do work, finish work, workout, eat dinner, netflix and chill, go to bed, repeat! Hope this was helpful information! It was quite an amazing experience

and no breath vapor either.

We use New Zealand Time (NZDT/NZST/GMT+13). The US Antarctic Program flights mainly operate out of Christchurch, NZ, then to McMurdo Station (also on NZT). Since technically the South Pole lies on all time zones, NZT is used out of convenience for flight/operations scheduling. :)

Cool! Thank you!

@@MaddyMcKenna, UTC/GMT+14 is the farthest ahead time zone, your station is in one of the earlier time zones then

Zoink everyone was asleep, I filmed at 3am while working the night shift :)

how come there was no breath vapor on your breath outside?

hi! thanks for the question. actually, the UV is much stronger since the poles do have a thinner atmosphere protecting them. however... it is the coldest place on earth, so everyone-if outside for more than just a few moments-wears long sleeves, long pants, hats, scarves, and sunglasses or goggles. Thus, not much skin is left to be exposed! For SP weather, if you're interested - www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/webdata/met/spo_met_metric.jpg Also, as part of the "packing list" I was given, we were asked to bring polarized, UV protection sunglasses.

+Maddy McKenna thanksss for the information It will be helpfull. what you do in this station.? Which country own this station?

the station is operated by the US Antarctic Program. www.usap.gov/

+Maddy McKenna Are you currently part of this project.? How long a person can stay in Antartica.?

I am no longer involved... see my blog maddymck.wordpress.com for more info. I was there two years ago.

(the video was made at 3am while everyone was sleeping.) this is not only building at the South Pole-there is an atmospheric research lab as well as the ice cube lab and telescope buildings which are all separate.

@@MaddyMcKenna I am aware of that. There are many bases and research facilities there, but the quality of the people working there is not impressive. It may be that the people doing these tours (and there are several on the internet) are the support staff.
