- We experienced a blow which temporarily stopped work at a research station. The blow was 40 knots or 46 mph. Bare in mind this is during summer, winter storms can be a lot worse
Even as an IT-Administrator, I would go to work there. Without any question....It's a rare Place on this world where you can feel the planet. Man.. what an adventure.
I wanna make love to polar bears
@@eddiew2325 polar bears live around north pole, not in here...... u can make love to penguins
Data management and IT communications is an extremely important job down there! The instruments generate 100's of gigabytes a day and that all needs sorting, compressing and transmitting. Search online for any jobs down in Antarctica :)
@@jaskiranism I dont have any particular skills and I live in northern hemisphere but I want to work there as well. Is there any chance ? :D pleaaaaaseeeee
@@jaskiranism "Data management and IT communications is an extremely important job down there"
Couldn't agree more! ;)
What scares me most isn't the cold and unforgiving weather,
but the fact that the more I look into this, the more I want it.
Can't I have picked up an easier dream??
same
all the best
You can play Rimworld on a antarctic Tile.
Nope, you get paid alot of money to hang out and watch tv and occasionally do some sciency shit in a frozen desert thats super cool and alien
@@DeezNuts- Really? I have a degree in Sciency Shit! I also hold a PhD in Ass-Grabbing.
same xD
04:30 this is exactly the same weather in which our grandparents walked to school.
😄😄
Uphill!! Both ways!
You youngins wouldn't be able to handle that with your tic toks and your i phones and......
@@Pyxis10 ok Boomer.
I doubt that. Antarctica is like -50 degrees Fahrenheit
They even have Lego in Antarctica.
Ever heard of importing?
@@RustInPeace2490 no, Antarctica has a lego land
Jeez, it kind of looks like living at a station on another planet.
Does it look like you are living on Hoth?
@@carultch Night time hoth.
When I was in the navy,,, a good friend,,, a person that actually gave me the direction in life that I needed, just didn't know it at the time ,,, but he was a 4.0 sailor and was accepted and did a tour in Antarctica... thats a life challenge that only the strongest if the strong minded people can Do. He succeeded he was one of a kind. Thank u so much Russell K. Your an inspiration to all who get the privilege to know u

This place reminds me indeed of a submarine
That is awesome, that is something I want to do
Ok where do I sign to get a job there? I'm not a scientist but, hey, if I have to be the guy that cleans up everything, so be it. I'd feel at home in this kind of environment.
I’m from Chicago so …so would i
You can be a solider in your country. Or be a doctor/PhD holder in biology or related to get a chance to go there for a long time. And also you can go as a tourist. But keep in mind it’s very hard to stay, even for 3 days. You will be cursing the cold.
I had a roommate that would go down there seasonally and shovel snow around the buildings. No clue where he found that job but I guess there is something
I saw some on indeed when I looked up retail clerk job in mc murdo on google.
Gana a yoo
This would be the safest place for ww3
Preston Prezno forget Canada imma come here
yeah, until the food runs out. Then you're SOL
@@tonycns yep, and nothing grows there neither.
Clutch Smith free 2 day delivery !
tonycns plenty of seals, penguins and fish to eat
This video needs million views. Such amazing stuff.
Thanks a lot man! hopefully one day 🤞
I just down-voted it.

Imagine going outside to snap a few pics during a blizzard… then go for the door handle to go back inside and it is locked.
When Buzz Aldrin stepped out of the Lunar Module Neal Armstrong said, "Don't lock the door."
I'm pretty sure that they don't lock the doors.
After all, why would they, there's no thieves or whatever lol
@@mqbitsko25 that never happend, and even buzz is now saying that never happend, moon is not a rock moon is a plasma, you can't fucking land on it
@@terra6713there’s tourists and Arabians stealing everywhere…… don’t you listen to the news ?!??
That looks like the most beautiful and peaceful place on earth. Even in the blizzard I would find so much peace there
Yeah eternal peace!
This type of weather that makes baby penguins dies, is it peace after all?
Me too...as long as the wifi doesn't go out
@@youwantmyname9208 its nature. things die. boohoo.
@@joef8096 bruh
Just beware of the thing called "The Thing"
That's not dog. It's imitation.
I don't understand.
This is amazing. How do you keep power? Generators? And if so how do you keep them from freezing up? The logistics for this kind work must be mind boggling.
The generators are probably inside the facilty too and for energy my best guess is a mixture of both a turbine spinning with air, solar panels and a fuel storage
Government-funded. I imagine they have massive reserves of fuel, both battery & diesel generators. Maybe some wind turbines too.
McMurdoh base had a nuclear reactor back in the 1960s, IIRC.
@@HawkGTboy No it didn't. The treaty prohibits nuclear _weapons,_ but we also don't take nuclear materials there. Plus, everything at McMurdo goes through NZ who won't allow anything nuclear. (the most anyone would ever even think about would be an RTG, and that's a laughable low amount of power for an Antarctic station. Maybe a field camp, or tractor on a traverse -- see also: the martian.)
(a) NEVER turn off the generator. (b) keep the fuel "warm". (they use a special blend that won't freeze down to -40/-50?) (c) keep the generators out of the elements.
The greatest lesson they might learn must be the meaning of *warmth* in life.....
I was enchanted by that piano melody in the final of the video. Greetings from Italy.

Didn't you guys felt cold while opening that door wearing that Tshirt?
Of course, but imagine them going outside, they would probably die.
@@Rolando_Cueva yes
I spent 3 years down there. We kept the temperture our rooms we lived in in the 30s and 40s. Out side it was -20. You would get use to the cold. I lived out on the Ross Ice Shelf. Not uncommon to walk outside in a t-shirt or sweat shirt in extream cold temps for short time.
I've just finished reading "COLD" by Ranulph Fiennes , the story of his trans polar trek and Everest climb, a truly terrifying account of the coldest and most dangerous places on the planet, I would recommend that anyone considering a trip to either polar area reads it first, it may change your mind !
Me: living in Los Angeles and thinking 55 degree weather is freezing..
🥶
*12 degrees
Same, but I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to go there. The places I want to visit are all cold except for one.
i like extreme weather so long as i’m in a safe building. but it’s cozy to me being bunkered inside eating being warm & playing games
Absolutely
I really prefer to see the stormy days in antactica especially in winter ..thanks to you for apload this vd
@ yes i know that

This is an amazing set of videos that you have uploaded. I'm a MYP Design teacher from the UK who is teaching in Xi'an in China and I have a unit on personalised housing that I teach as part of the interior design component. Up until now I've been using camper van and micro house videos as an introduction to that unit to try to get my students to empathise with the essentials needed to live in a space, but I'm going to go through your videos and pick out the best parts to use as a starter for this unit from now on. I'm tempted to switch the unit to an 'antarctic base' theme to give an added context. Thank you for posting all of these, keep them coming!
Wicked sense of humor dude! "I need my caffeine. Don't judge."
"Good drone flying weather."
Even though its Antartica,it seems like this place is out of this planet...just beautiful and mysterious as interstellar planets would be
He’s wearing a t-shirt while he opens the door. Ik it’s cold as fuck but it Makes it seem a lot less brutal
The gear even to walk next door still seems pretty light for the conditions.
Wim Hof is walking outside.
This reminds me of the scene in the movie "The Martian" when he's sitting in the HAB during that sandstorm, and all you hear is the wind blowing tons of sand against the HAB around him, and the quiet beep of the monitor next to him letting him know that one of the airlocks is vacuum. Almost peaceful, but absolutely terrifying once you think about the fact that there isn't much between you and certain death.
In the terrain of Siberia, tribes lives in tents and survive the below freezing cold. These guys would probably starve before freezing to death.
Imagine sleeping thru this.
Read endurance, the survival story of Ernest Shackleton and his crew. They endured this with minimal cover on elephant island and it sounds like the most miserable shit ever
People forget that Antarctica is the highest, driest, windiest, rockiest, shiniest, emptiest and coldest continent on earth.
Dude that’s total whiteout if you wonder outside to go the next building, could you imagine if you got lost and turned around. You would NEVER be found again EVER. That a surreal feeling watching this.
Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching! :)
What an amazing adventure. Even with the danger all around you, the beautiful landscape and view around you must be stunning. Part of your life that you'll carry your entire life! Stay blessed, sending good vibes and prayers for safe living out there. Thank you for sharing!
John Carpenter's The Thing is one of my favorite films
playing the longest dark on my pc right now, made me youtube blizzards,coldest places on earth...glad i found this!
what an incredible place,scary yet satisfying.

“McReady?”

I was going to point out that he's dodging the important questions... like what do you do if you see a dog being chased by a helicopter?
@@stevesargent8731 run the other way. Quickly.
Keep in mind - and not meaning to diminish this experience in the slightest - but this is December, i.e. summer. In winter you have the long night - six months of total dark. Temperatures on the Antarctic plateau in winter are so extreme they make Greenland or Siberia look like the Mediterranean.
The record low in the Northern Hemisphere is -69.6⁰C at an automated weather station in Greenland. Oymyakon in the Sakha Republic of Russia has recorded -67.7⁰C, the lowest for a permenantly inhabited location (I saw a RUclips video about life in the Sakha Republic which mentioned temps below -70, but, officially at least, this has never been recorded).
At Vostok Station in Antarctica the daily mean in August is -67.9 and the average low for that time of year is -71.5⁰C. Summer temps at Vostok have reached -64.
EDIT: I should clarify that the South Pole is much colder than Oymyakon and always has people at it, but none of them are residents of the South Pole. Oymyakon is the coldest place with a permanent population of actual residents, as opposed to the scientists who come and go at the South Pole.
Well done. Visually stimulating as well as informative. 12 minutes of cinematic quality gold. Thank you.
I'm freezing just watching this.
I'll be going to the Arctic for research, but soon after I am setting my sight on the Antarctic. Love the video, helps remind me of this goal on my map!
Where in the Arctic? I just started watching a RUclips channel of someone who lives in Svalbard and she explained the have a school there for people specializing in Arctic-related sciences and other such fields.
Awesome I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
This is what it looked like in the NYC metro area last week, but instead it was orange with smoke.
Amazing Brother. Wish you all the best bro and thank you very much
I am both intrigued and frightened by Antarctica. The cold isn’t what scares me, I’m willing to brace that, however it’s the endless expanse of flat land snow with no indicators of where you are sounds like something that would drive me insane into a nervous wreck. Especially if I were alone.
The Inuit have a term called ‘Snow sickness’ when people mentally snap during the winter months when the environment becomes seamless - Antarctica is like that nonstop.
As crazy as that place is, its still a million times more hospitable than Mars.
Its a good thing New Zealand is situated where it is and not any closer to Antarctica
If i move there then i'm marrying a penguin
Your explanation of snow drifts is amazing
All I gotta say is: those goggles are amazing.
It makes were I live in Wisconsin seem like a tropical rainforest.
Wisconsin ? Is this where LIV ANd Maddie take place lmao I like it
The British Antarctic Station seems seems very small & inefficient, ie Buildings not connected internally, so you have to walk outside, etc
It is French and Italian.
I've experienced -40 weather, and typhoon winds. But never at the same time, and don't really want to.
Does mercury freeze in the thermometers where Fahrenheit and Celsius cross over?
At Willy Field, we had ropes tied between buildings so we don't get lost during Herbies. They were so much fun. I seen you using your ropes there at times. I have to say, I never fell in the snow once when living down there. I fell many times.
If I was stuck in the living module and we only had movies I would put on "The Thing". Always a great way to really bring people together in a snow storm :).
This is AMAZING! I really enjoy your videos
I remember going to the Grand Canyon and it was freezing AF over there and they said it was 50 and it felt WORSE than that my hands went numb and I can't IMAGINE how it is here
If I win the lottery I would live here. With my giant gaming pc
Nice. Just be sure to not lack any primary needs for survival.
@@TheGamingMotionTGM dude, he said his gaming PC, what else would he need? 😂
It’s giving me the thing vibes haha
Love when all works in one place no boring 👌
Penguins just looking at you like "amateur"
While I'm sitting in my balcony with a beautiful sunny morning in Malaysia.
I would love to work there, what an amazing place it is
Why don't they just build connecting tunnels to each module ,,
Therefore eliminating the need to have to deal with the elements outdoors.
Love the video, especially the last scene of the sun coming over the Antarctic ice. Do you know what the name of the music at 11:30 is? Thank you!!
I did a google song search and got Ao Som da Chuva by Careca Cabeludo. I liked it too. Reminded me a bit of Eluvium.
Imagine being lost in that! Even Obi Wan's foce ghost isn't going to save your ass.
Basically like wandering onto the surface of Mars in a dustorm without checking your suit.
Also dead in 90 seconds.
Your video quality and footage is some of the coolest I've seen in a long time my friend! You got a sub!
I would happily live there.
Thanks for uploading 👍🏽👏🏽
at the end of your video when you showed us the landscape, it looks so awesome, i know its freezing but looks great. but what do you all do out there in Antarctica? its got me beat why people would go there to work... but to do what ?? first time ive seen a video from you, so ive subscribed, im curious what you will film next - stay safe all of you
Thats super cool I would feel like im in space on another planet every time i looked out that window
It's like a regular winter up north here in Norway.
Waw this is amazing!much respect bro!💪🏻
And to think that their temperatures at their WARMEST doesn't even hit 10°C...
and their record coldest is almost -90°C now.... That's insane how they can still live in those conditions....
i love...love snow storms, was stationed in grand lakes a few years, then in nj newerk a few years with lake effect snow, then several navel ships in the north atlantic for a number of cruses, then trained with marines in alaska for over a year, wish i could have stayed there
Antarctic magic is so impressive. Thank. What is the name of the musical composition at the end?
I am wondering the same thing too!
found it, it is called Piano Moment by Bensound
so, how do I get on board? I can help with cleaning, cooking, electricity, plumbing, ... all sorts of stuff
The silence must be deafening at night
To think Antarctica is just across us in Melbourne haha
No offense but Melbourne is actually in New Zealand
@@eddiew2325 comedy
Stepping out from a building in that wind is like stepping out into an aircraft slip stream.
Do they do IT at McMurdo?
I was going to be a cook down there but I am currently taking an IT class and I have interest in IT.
It would be GREAT to work there for IT. Both my dream jobs in one!
If they do (I would think so), do you know what kind of IT work?
I'm intrigued by this strange place.
How does anyone feel the urge to be there, and even enjoy it?
I actually dont know exact answer why i and others feel like that,i just like beatifull winters, coldness and it makes me feel alive. I assume you are from warm place of this earth.
@@koistinen9368 I’m North-African but born and raised in europe, I visit my family and country in the summer if I can so it’s pretty warm there in the summer. But here in europe it’s not as often sunny as on African countries so eventhough I’m used to the cold here I could never really like or love it... maybe it’s because my roots are African? Something to do with being warm blooded or something? I don’t know...
I don’t know. Antarctica is just so cool to me. When I was little I used to just look at maps of Antarctica with my school atlases, just imagining traveling across there. I like it’s snowy ice landscape, and the mystery of what is beneath the miles of ice in Antarctica (since there’s land beneath it). If I had the money, I would definitely take a cruise there. Just imagine the night sky.
@@zakwanberlin there’s land beneath the ice???
@@MoroccanRose Yep
Was there summer season 10’-11’ helped tow those blue and one red module from Halley 5 and set them up in Halley 6
Amazing video 🍀 wonderful work 💗
Wow! It’s fantastic and wonderful!
You guys are the real troopers
great vid, thanks man! I hope someday to travel to Arctica :)
The most horrifying thing for me is getting lost in that storm
Does it rain ? There also is there a way to make it snow more for longer with like cloud seeding???
I came here for The Thing quotes. Was not disappointed
Does Amazon prime deliver there?
I would so live there. My kind of weather!
How they even get internet down there is mind-blowing.
That’s satellite internet
A normal January day in Chicago
I am always fascinated about life in the arctic. Would like a chance to experience it.
It’s in Antarctic not the Arctic
Basically, it's Chicago in Feb.
I wonder what kinda protocol they have out there for long lasting emergencies like power shortage, communication loss, or food running low. Spending time out there looks like it would be a great adventure overall though!
The planning that goes into how much food to get shipped there is so detailed. I imagine there's lots of meal planning and then getting creative with whatever you have left towards the end of the supply.
Just like shipping supplies and foods to ISS via space vehicle, same thing applies to Antarctica stations.
Nope, Never!!🥶
NOW THIS would feel like home to me!
Nnnope, I've lived in the cold climate to long, but good luck to all of you for having the fortitude to be there.
Same living in Minnesota with cold weather is enough and tired of it ready to move to Florida
