This seems preposterous. How hard would it be to put a couple big generators and a winter supply of gas down there?
[edit] no, seriously, why is this so difficult? If you can have one generator and one fuel supply, why not have enough so you're not constantly worried about potable water supply? What's the limiting factor here?
- lolc 4y agoDelivering anything to Antarctica is expensive. Maybe people value having other things more, and showering is not that important?
- noduerme 4y agoWhat other things? Water, food and fuel seem pretty basic. Is suffering some sort of prerequisite goal? Can a person not be comfortable at the South Pole in order to go about their business?
- lolc 4y agoShowering at Antarctica is a luxury. As the humorous article made clear. And we're not even talking about the South Pole station. I do wonder what showering regime applies there. People who can't shower don't suffer. They sponge bath. If you value showering so much, Antarctica is not for you. That's ok.
