That's a sick job. I had been wondering if there's roles for IT in Antarctica, but I fear my wife may be angry if I dip off to an isolated continent for a year.

I have a friend who's worked in Antarctica as IT support (US) for...ever. Decades.
He may or may not have been one of the last two people to ever set foot in the original McMurdo Station, before the weight of snow crushed it. Cool stories.
They have a hard time staffing the IT roles usually. Throw an app in, you can just do a 90ish day ‘summer’ deployment at some stations.
I saw one advertised in 2001. Regret not applying! Bonus is it was only 3 months in Antartica I think and then rest not.
My wife’s already angry, maybe I should apply… :D
British Antarctic Survey post IT roles every year...
