Living and Working in Antarctica

Join us as we travel to the U.S. National Science Foundation-funded IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica! We’ll meet their winterovers, individuals who brave the unforgiving environment to spend a year—sometimes longer—at the South Pole, half of which is enveloped in complete darkness. Every year, two winterovers are selected and sent to the South Pole to operate and maintain the IceCube detector. Learn what it’s like to live and work in one of the most extreme and remote places on our planet!
