Hi all! I loooooove all that these comments on these videos! 😂 So good. I took this vid a couple of years ago at Palmer Station, a US base on the Antarctic Peninsula. I'm currently working at Scott Base, the NZ Antarctic Station - documenting it on TikTk and Insta, and I've spent 16 years in Antarctica, and podcasting as Antarctica Did That For Me, Spotify, Apple and everywhere. Thanks for reading my low-key ad!
Pretty cool video you got here. How far is Palmer station from Amundson Scott Station at the pole ?. What is it like to stay down there for months at a time ?
@@johndepsky7812 Ok, dateandtime tells me that the "crow flies" distance is 1700-ish miles (2800 km). But in practice if I was at Palmer station and I wanted to get to South Pole as quickly as I could, I'd have to get on a boat from Palmer Station, travel 4 and 1/2 days across the Drake passage, catch a flight from South America to Christchurch, New Zealand (you have to figure a full day of travel for this at least), Hop on a plane, 5 hours to McMurdo Station, and then an additional plane, 3 hours to south Pole. So, whatever that is. As for spending all of that time on Ice, I absolutely love it. It's a really dynamic community doing really cool things. I'm I'm going to try to post more about life in Antarctica this year, and I'm a little more active on tick, tock and Instagram, so if you're truly interested, you can definitely tune in there. And of course there's always the podcast. Thanks for being interested in Antarctica!

My guess would be very Slowly using Boat Operated Cranes and other Automated power tools to move the Huts, dig the ditches and bases, place pipes and structures etc, and then Extremely well-bundled engineers with heating suits finished the rest (probably nearby to temporary shelters or boats to reduce risk of hypothermia)
And this was probably the easier one to build since this one is on the coast. The one that's inland at the actual South Pole was a much more impressive feat.
😂 honestly, this was taken at Palmer station, which is way north on the continent. So it was cold, but not nearly as cold as the South Pole gets, and I've never been anywhere as low as -121, oof! But I only spent summers at the South pole, Winters are obviously much colder.
@@deejaysee I watch Windy, that's a really great one, and I think you can add Palmer Station as a site, (McMurdo station a good weather dept. We base our forecast on local readings, and predict our own weather
I have and it's kind of terrifying. 😂 There was actually a Japanese movie called The Virus that imagines Palmer Station as the only survivors of a worldwide plague. Oh yeah, and then there was the actual start of COVID that happened one year when I was there too. So you imagine these things sometimes 😳
@@davidschmidt270 😂 this was nothing. I'm about to head to Scott Base (NZ's base, next door to McMurdo Station, and it's -50F(-44C) with a -80F (-64C) windchill. This video is balmy compared to that
I love your attitude! This is totally self-promotional, but we've got a podcast called Antarctica Did That For Me that starts April 2nd, and our second episode is all about all the ways to get to Antarctica. So anyway, that's a source of info for you!

Ha! Basically. Except I'm not a dude ( except in the Dude Will Abide sense). It's weird how everybody here thinks that I'm a guy. Women work in Antarctica tooooo ❤
@@SavedByGrace1987 Palmer is amazing - I think I connected with Antarctica the continent there more than anywhere else I've been when I've worked down there.
This really doesn’t look that cold, except for the wind. I’m guessing the actual temperature as being around freezing, and maybe even a degree or two warmer, as the path looks pretty wet.
@@simplyantarctica - it makes perfect sense. If you had the same temps on a calm, sunny day, it would feel great! Instead, you have a blustery day getting blasted by snow and it is pretty miserable.
Let me tell you what. Here is a first-hand report that there are definitely no heated walkways at Palmer Station. That is our little shoveling arms clearing those walkways. I have shoveled so much over and over and over again. That's the power of good old human labor! Take that AI! 😂
It was definitely on purpose. A good way to get supplies nice and close during construction. Also, this particular base focuses on marine science, so it's a good spot, in the end.
You can comfortably manage -40 Celsius cold for a few minutes without clothes, you can even survive naked 12 minutes in Antarctica. Plus, you get used to it like people in Nordic countries that barely dress in winter clothes when it's cold
Man i got so many questions. How in da world did they build that facility in such cold weather. Plus Antarctica is the windiest continent, you can hear it blowing. How is electricity sustained? How do they eat? Can anything be shipped there? So many questions lol DOWN SOUTH!!!
Oh my gosh, you'd be surprised to know that this is one of the most common questions I get here on this account. In fact a friend and I are soon to podcast about this very subject. I'll drop a link once we're going. (Antarctica Did That For Me)
The place for great pizza in Antarctica is McMurdo Station, no joke. The pizza is amazing there - there's a dedicated pizza oven. Palmer's good too, but MCM is where it's at.

I just wanna be honest you’re probably never gonna make it to Antarctica in your entire life especially with that anime profile picture
How tf did they build that facility in the first place? Incredible.
Thats what im saying

@@looperradical2689 they all are containers
And this was probably the easier one to build since this one is on the coast. The one that's inland at the actual South Pole was a much more impressive feat.
Maybe they built it during the summer when it's just a bit warmer like 30 degrees warm.
The weather is like saying to them get out of here you’re not supposed to be here
Exactly!
You need gloves to survive the cold in AQ (Antarctica)
Seems kinda chilly 🥶
I guessing keeping frozen food here won't be that hard
this is summer in antarctica
if it was winter it would be completely dark
I hate the cold and I hate the snow, but I really wanna go there.
Can relate

Yea he’s really in Antarctica 🇦🇶 but no people actually live there people like scientists and support staff go there through out the year😊
#facts
No people lives there permanently but it has been inhabited uninterruptedly for more than 100 years by argentinian bases.
Y'alls the hardest working people on the planet hands down
There are some heroes out there doing a lot more than we do, but I'm absolutely impressed by the ingenuity and dedication of Antarcticans.
the place where its winter 24/7
It’s a little chilly today
Impressive to know how places like this and McMurdo Station are the only humanly inhabitable places in the content and territories of Antarctica.
Lol my last name is mcmurdo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
An Arctic beach town. Cool.😎
That summer 😂😂😂
A nice warm day.
The wind is like wtf. Wut u guys doing here??

A fire extinguisher in Antarctica. Yes makes sense to me.

Sometimes wind stop
You can tell this video is during the winter months during the summer it’s not as windy it’s still cold tho
Deep down I secretly want to drop everything and move there😂
I'll just skip lunch.
That looks like a nice day in my book
What a glorious scene. All that wind and cold is great!
bro with headset you can feel the wind
Thanks for posting. I keep thinking of the people who built the buildings and walk ways, etc.
Super talented people! These were built by Navy Seabees in the 1960s

Ha! I'm a Minnesotan (or was for a lot of years) and this is true - if you can handle Minnesota, you can handle Antarctica. 💪
I actually have plans to travel to Antarctica by plane in the next three years.
Unreal.
-33° to 20°F and No gloves??? 🤔

You can comfortably manage -40 Celsius cold for a few minutes without clothes, you can even survive naked 12 minutes in Antarctica. Plus, you get used to it like people in Nordic countries that barely dress in winter clothes when it's cold
Just don't get your hands wet or try to touch anything cold you'll be fine for a while.
Earth is flat, no Antarctica
Uh, ok 🙄
improved significantly
Bet them DoorDashers are paid well, blessed and highly favored.
Bro forgot abt the flowers 💀
🙄 actually moss and lichen, some 800 years old, super cool.
This facility looks like it came from 007 or Metal Gear Solid.
