Older fool looking to go to sea

The US Antarctic Program is always hiring for a wide variety of roles - you could do a season down there (6 months) if you can pass the physical and back ground checks. See here: The USAP Portal: Science and Support in Antarctica - Jobs and Opportunities

Now, you need to be ok with being down there for 6 months. The summer season at the McMurdo station has alot of people there, even has a couple of bars and coffe shops and etc. The South Pole, well, in the summer that’s going to be constant sunlight…for 6 months…at 9000’ above sea level (that’s how much ice you would be living on). Palmer Station, the tropics of the Antarctic, is very small and etc. - maybe not so many jobs for you… but hey, give it a shot.
