*I am currently living and working at the South Pole Station through the United States Antarctic Program. I am not down here as a filmmaker or photographer, but instead work in the Logistics and Supply department. All of these videos are being made during my free time and not during working hours. We are very busy down here keeping the station running at maximum efficiency, but I have managed to find some free time to make these short movies!*
I’ve heard that you only get 2 minutes shower twice a week, is it true or someone’s bullshitting me?
@Gone Venturing Got it, thank you for reply
It’s true!
So awesome! Thank you very much for this! Now onto part 2...
Great video! Randomly started researching the south pole and found this.
Yowser! Where’s Blofeld? That place looks VERY “James Bond”.
PLEASE don't apologize for the length of the video!! I loved it. I first got interested in the South Pole when the American doctor working there in 1999 (Dr Jerri Nielsen) developed breast cancer, and diagnosed herself. With the help of the winterover crew, they staged a midwinter airdrop of supplies (chemo drugs, freshies, and medical equipment), and she was evacuated in early spring. (Back then, the Dome was still at the Pole.) I may never be able to experience the Pole myself, but I love watching your videos. Keep em coming!
rofl .. so they are running win10 on south pole ..somehow it doesn't seem appropriate :)
So where do you work the rest of the year if this is a temporary gig? How does one go about getting a job at an antarctica station?
Amazing video. I’ve always been fascinated with Antarctica. I watch the commercials to support you.
Not sure if you'll be reading comments almost a year after this video dropped but seeing all of the safety precautions made me wonder: Has there been any major disasters at the south Pole or any other antarctica station that needed emergency response teams called in?
I wanna play real life among us here
2 am... Broad daylight outside.
I wanna eat popcorn at the south pole
Qualifications to work there please.....
Gone Venturing thank you!!!👍🏼
Depends on the job you want! Search on GSC (services), PAE (most jobs - everything from shuttle driver to plumber), and GHG (IT)! Those are the big three contractor companies.
What is the large silver ball thing in a case near the old South Pole Markers ? Mega-Tea Leaf dipper ?
Why are Americans on New Zealand's land ? We'll be down for a chat about this in 2021, which now so RUN!
Did you kill everyone else at the station?
Even though he said he was freezing when he was outside, he stood there long enough to be considered an Anartic Viking.
So your video was recorded at 2:40 am and you had all the sun at the time of the "night"?, that's mind boggling!, great video and thanks for sharing.
Nice Tour Thank You For Taking The Time To Show Us,,,,Question : Do you have a Post Office ????
@Michael Brady Ok Thanks...
Yes we do. Mail service in summer months only.
I really don’t care 🤷🏻♂️ the ignorance but is posible to show us the submarines and the aircraft the use for exploring and data saving for private companies like military machinery and equipment for underground tunnels underground bases or this is just for entretenimiento like nasa for distraction cuz I wan research 🧐 🔬 🌱 plants fauna’s and the electromagnetism
have you met any non-terrestrial officers passing through or seen photos of them ? ; )
Anything spicy in that lower level tour??
Sorry, are the dorm rooms well sound-insulated?
Your camera/video is vibrating a lot, use stabilizer ! Anyway, interesting video
21:33 When he entered the sauna I immediately felt the warmth myself hahaha
Named quiet reading room Has a piano in it
I enjoyed your video! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭.
From Brazil. Good video!!
Thanks!
Imagine one day someone starts playing Real Life Among Us in the base 😁
No swimming pool?, there’s a sauna and a fitness center like there was in Toronto
Haha I wish!! That’d be epic!
sort of feels like a high school. Sort of.
Honestly, has a rape, sexual assault or battery ever been reported? Just curious if anyone would ever tell
Man I’d love to visit that place
Great Video !! always thought about working down there after my Air Force career ....
the shining and the thing. great movies to watch being isolated and freezing in the middle of nowhere
No 3d printers in the craft room?
where do you keep the flame throwers?
Came here lookig for flat earthers saying this is all made up and no one is allowed to go to Antarctica... couldn't not find one.
Man, a music room.....that's pretty great. I wonder if they ever record anything? Wouldn't mind hearing something. Heck, wouldn't mind going down there and making a record with those folks!
in Russia station Vostok...very very bad and poor
Учись Вова как жить в стране без воровства!!! Американцы молодцы!
I didn't see an ATM machine
This is amazing and fantastic 👍😊
Where is everyone?
dude this is amazing thank you thank you thank you yes I've been dying to see this.
I really enjoyed this video and really appreciate all the extra detail you went into that others didn’t!
Thanks so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it! ☺️☺️
I am a ham radio operator ( W5JN ), and I have spoken with hams there over the years....might you do a video on the ham station, please?
matt damon?
Rally appreciated your effort to make this video including all information of south pole station.
How to get a job therE?
I wonder how much radiation polar explorers are exposed to? Haven’t find any info about this topic
I have so many questions: How much fuel does the station consume? It looks like there is so much space being heated and lighted. What are temperatures inside? Do food refrigerators work like regular ones? Cause it would be hilarious if there are cold producing machines on the south pole))
That was amazing, thank you!
This guy seems like a really chill dude to work with. I'd love to work here, do they have jobs in Information Technology there? I saw that there's an IT department. I have a ton of questions about the station and antarctica in general. Can you guys get mail? Do any of you guys have pen-pals? I know email exists but it would be cool to have a pen-pal in antarctica.
This dude reminds me of brad from home improvement and its so distracting lmao (my brightness is low, so that plus the voice are probably creating this effect. Or im just wrong, probably)
33:18 I guess the Russians aren't allowed to play?
Wow, really interesting! First time I've seen anything covering this station. Thank you for posting.
Where’s Santa’s work shop at?
this was so cool!!! thank you so much for sharing
Amazing video. What's the temperature like in the station? Does it always feel chilly, or it's kept at a warm temperature?
Have you found any crashed alien space craft ? and bring the alien in ?
What is the super darn?
Can anyone just work there? Am a non science guy but this sounds like bucket list material
Is there alcohol in the station?
Why are the windows all round?
Look like a fun job
This is amazing! Watched the whole thing. I wanted to see every inch of the place and got scared every time you paused before entering a room bc I thought you were going to say we couldn't :D
Great video...10 dislikes...flat earthers?
I swear to god this video deserves like millions & millions of views. The world is watching so much rubbish on NOtown and proper videos like this one are missed! This is a mankind achievement PEOPLE!! What a cruel world we live in. Keep up the good work down there. I wish I can join u guys someday.
Ahh thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
I would love to spend time there. This building do look like something you see in a movie when there is a virus outbreak. I know it isn't but this video looks like the BEGINNING. lol
What time zone do you follow?
Oh cool!
New Zealand time zone! That’s the same one McMurdo is in and that’s where we run the majority of missions from.
How ironic that every station in Antarctica, people need to use water as little as possible while they're literally surrounded by the largest freshwater deposit in the world (Antarctic ice shelf)
@C C bullshit... It is all from ice which is melted and then pumped from Rodwell 3.
We use water a lot to shower, wash vegetables, boil, medicine applications, etc. We have pumps that melt it out of the lakes
How are dust mites, virii and bacteria doing over there? If the answer is "non existent" I will apply for a job.
This is what it must be like to actually live in a Fallout Shelter...Except that when you exit you do not meet giant radioactive scorpions or super mutants. Just penguins
Wow. Why is it like a ghost town? And do you have cooks or refuse workers there? Im looking for work seriously.
@Gone Venturing I will. Ive alwasy been interested in science and i love what people are doing there but I'm a GED guy. I figure my best chance would be unloading cargo since i have distribution and wharehouse exp. But a cook or refuse worker anything like that would be a good fit as well. Thanks for responding, the video was very interesting. As far as Ive been able to discover so far is that there are some government sites to aply. Do you know of a specific place to apply?
It was just really empty because I filmed in the middle of the night. Some people didn’t want to be filmed so to just avoid the issue I did it at night. And they do have cooks and stuff! Definitely look into it!
Can you call home from the communication station. Did the station have a ping pong table.
Amazing! I swear when I first started the video, I've had some feelings something interesting will happen :D
This was a very interesting video. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. Two questions if you have a moment: first, it appears either security among everyone is very trusting as there were no locked doors or perhaps you unlocked doors off camera? Second, do you know the thought process behind using ship terminology for the station (i.e. galley, berthing, etc.)? Thanks again for the video.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! As far as your questions go, there actually is very little security, but the application process is pretty robust, so I think there is a pretty high level of trust. Also, so many people have small tasks to do in different locations that it’s probably easier to leave stuff unlocked. These are guesses as I didn’t make policy, but yeah, I think that makes the most sense. As far as the terminology goes, I’m pretty sure it has to do with the fact that the original American stations on the Ice were all originally navy. While it’s no longer military (aside from the air transport and vessel offload), they probably just kept the terminology!
You go outside in the South Pole in just a t shirt. I have a at least 2 layers inside of a house heated to 73F. 🤣 I still dream of spending the winter months in the McMurdo station teaching yoga and mediation to the few who stay to help fight all the psychological and physical ailments that intense isolation brings.
On my Facebook page, it says I was born in this station.
I've been digging into Antarctica and it's explorations, etc and have become infatuated. To the point I looked up prices for a "vacation" and I can't afford it unless I save up for awhile, and now I'm even toying of the thought of employment up there during the Summer months, but being as I currently have a good paying career already I'm not so sure they would be privvy to me walking away for 4+ months. Can't wait to dive into this video to feed my fantasy in my head.
There is good news for these troubled times is JESUS LOVES YOU ALL.
It’s a pity that you have so few subscribers. You have a great way to communicate things. Well done from an island in Mediterranean Sea - Cyprus
Awesome video! You are a stellar presenter
Are there any SMOKING hot girls there? Anybody growing dope in the greenhouse? That gym is NICE. Have you ever had to get rid of someone that was a total DOUCHEBAG?
I head you talk alot about Mcmurdo, but I was wondering if you have ever been to Palmer?
Dude, that was awesome. Way to hold it together for 40+ min; it was super interesting.
VERY well done video!!
smokers?? why?
Thanks so much for this exciting tour! Jeffrey Donenfeld did a great tour too. Always a pleasure to watch a virtual tour of the best Station in the Antarctic! Thumbs up!
Oh no! Covid 19!!!
How many people were there at this time of recording? What - were you alone there? Didn't see anyone else in all corners of the tour.
I worked nights at McM during Winfly a few years ago and absolutely adore that quiet, desolate atmosphere this video presents, it really brings me back to that feeling!
"... not much to say ..." in the laundry room. Well, I would like to add that due to obvious reasons they don't have those infamous en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washing_machine#Top-loading there.
I was the 2015 winter-over Doc at South Pole and enjoyed watching this video. There have been a few changes since my winter-over but, for the most part, things looked the same. Nice to see that the photos of some of my favorite running trails that I put up in front of one of the treadmills in the weight room are still there. I commend and thank you for having the tenacity to edit and organize your video for this presentation. I have hours of video of every aspect of the station and all of the outbuildings and telescopes as well as "the berms" and "the end of the world." I doubt that anyone will ever see them but me. Thanks for sharing all of this. It is such a unique honor to be part of the South Pole family!
21:27 found the orgy room
This is a cover up, it's Mars!
The video kind of reminded of The Martian because it's a guy that looks like Matt Damon filming himself in a station in an extreme environment lol
I am not a scientific, just a science fan. Learning more about the IceCube Experiment in the station you work led me to this interesting video and how important are the investments the US National Science Foundation does: notown.info/two/video/3LWdinyGlLSFors.html I found your video after watching RT video about Russian antarctic stations: notown.info/two/video/nK1kdmFiZq2Vsa8.html In that documentary one of the chief stations says "science is only the show, it's all geopolitics really". Though he might be right, US NSF is doing a great job in that South Pole Station and you must be proud to be part of it. Congratulations!
As someone headed to the Pole for the first time to winter over, this video (as well as your other videos) are AMAZING
lol, watch the movie Whiteout in the gym. Hand out to each person an empty super glue tube. lol call it first aid.
Does this station experience northern or southern winds?
There on the South Pole so presumably they are all northern winds
Where is the barber shop, computer n note book Lcd, TV repair service, toy shop, swimming pool, jacuzzi, acupuncture and massage room, hunting guns room, secuirty room, chapel, souvenir shop, shoes repair shop, food store area, fishing shop, shop for buying electronic items ,snack shop, banks, boxing ring, shops for winter shoes and overcoats, gloves, socks ...etc? Outdoor funs such as no ice hockey arena. You have not shown us antenna on the roof, satellite dishes...of different bands...etc. No switching hubs are shown too. Your South Pole station is lacking of everything. No real library with a librarian, no pottery room with lessons. No lost and found counter. No cat or dog. No psychiatrist, no artificial rock climbing , no photo studios. Worser than a prision or a jail house in china for the Uygurs. I will not suggest Elons to copy your south pole design to have the same one on the moon or mars.
