Life at the South Pole
It's a place like no other in the world.At the center of the Antarctic continent,the South Pole is a desert of snow.It is famous for some of the lowest temperatures in the world.
Although the conditions may be unwelcoming,the daily life of people at the South Pole Station is interesting.During construction,we sent over 100 people to the station each year,and here is a little taste of their experience.
Before you are allowed to go to the South Pole,you have to go through a physical examination to make sure you are healthy enough to handle the conditions.Getting to the South Pole as a member of the IceCube project requires a lot of time in the air.It takes 72 hours or more.Everyone headed to the Antarctic is offered special clothing to protect them against the cold,including parkas,mittens,boots and more.
The South Pole Station houses about 200 people.It also has a kitchen,dining room,gym,greenhouse and more.

People form clubs,start bands and attend classes that reflect their interests—from learning about other projects going on at the station to learning Scottish dances!
All supplies (物资) must be flown into the South Pole.Boxedup rubbish is carried out on return flights.
Thawing (解冻) food at the South Pole can take several hours to a week.Ice cream needs to be removed from storage several hours ahead of time to thaw or you would need to serve it with a hacksaw (钢锯)!
During the South Pole winter,the sun sets in March and doesn't rise again until September.The average temperature is so low that most aircraft cannot land.
Working at the South Pole changes your perspective on the world.It is beautiful.
