This, I remember that some 20 years ago when going to the Antarctica for a PhD seemed like a good idea, I found a job where they were looking for a plumber. The pay was insane at that time

Plumber? What for? Don’t they just dig up ice and melt it?🤔

This is the answer, if you’re not in academia you likely need to be in logistics, maintenance, or be a doctor/nurse.

That’s the easy part, crossing the sea from Tierra del Fuego to Antártica is where it gets hairy

I would die to get on an Antarctic research station. Too bad they probably don’t need computer scientists.

I mean, “it’s a shapeshifting alien that wants to kill us” would be pretty down on my list and “these Norgs have lost their mind” would be quite high there

Too bad we were ignorant enough not too have a Norwegian translator in our ranks, though the next civilised settlement is fully Norwegian. I don’t need to know Norwegian though to tell this guy is disrespecting us!
