Why live in Antarctica, why emigrate to Antarctica or stay for a long time?
Why should you live in Antarctica as an expat, emigrant or working nomad?
- because it is a good destination if you like the cold, as the average temperature in Vostok (the coldest place on earth) is -55 degrees Celsius in winter, other places in Antarctica are around -15 to -30 degrees Celsius in winter and between -5 and +5 degrees Celsius in summer.
- because if you spend some time in Antarctica, you will gain experience with joint projects and international cooperation.
- because you are literally at the end of the world, with no cities, no traffic, and almost no noise
What should you pay attention to?
- that you enjoy working in close-knit teams; research stations are often small communities.
- that no one stays in Antarctica permanently, so it is temporary and feels that way too.
- that you may feel isolated; approximately 1,000 people live there in winter and around 5,000 in summer.
- that all research stations have medical clinics to provide assistance, but these clinics are only equipped to perform minor medical procedures.
