This guy is living my dream! Unlikely I'll have have the chance to work in inland Antarctica as I'm not from a country that sends people over there for tech stu

  If you really want to go, be a dishwasher or cook or something similar. I've had 4 friends do exactly that. The work was crap, but the experience was well, well worth it.

    How do you apply though? I'd assume vacancies would be extremely rare - quite interesting you've had four friends do it.

      Vacancies are extremely common, they have regular old job fairs Just apply with whatever country applies to you https://www.google.com/search?q=work+in+antarctica https://www.google.com/search?q=work+in+antarctica US: https://www.usap.gov/jobsandopportunities/ https://www.usap.gov/jobsandopportunities/ Australian: https://jobs.antarctica.gov.au/jobs-in-antarctica/ https://jobs.antarctica.gov.au/jobs-in-antarctica/

    My grandpa did the same thing when he was 72 years old. Applied for food services, worked in the cafeteria but did extra stuff like DJ a radio show, drove a shuttle, and gave tours. A couple weeks into his stay, my grandpa ended up being the "most qualified" person at the station to take over the greenhouse (he had an agriculture degree which he hadn't used in 48 years) but ended up doing a good job. He travelled a lot but Antarctica was his favorite adventure.

    I think that would work for US nationals, for example, but I'm pretty sure they don't accept people with a Portuguese passport.
