➚ MATT OF THE ANTARCTIC - MY YEAR IN ANTARCTICA

Week 1 – My Antarctic adventure begins!

Hi, everyone!

Well, here I am at the scientific research station in Antarctica, the coldest, windiest, and driest continent in the world! It's summer right now, so the weather is quite mild – it's 0°C today! There are still a lot of gales, though, and of course, the sun never sets in the summer, which is really weird! Despite the freezing cold, the scenery and wildlife here are incredible. There are seals everywhere and yesterday I saw a humpback whale.

Everyone is warning me about the winter here! The temperature will drop to about -40°C and the sun won't rise at all. There will only be 20 of us and we won't have any visitors for 7 months. It'll be difficult, but at least I'm going to be busy. As a marine biologist, I'm going to study the way marine wildlife adapts to extreme temperatures. I'm also going to do a survey of the threatened Emperor Penguin. I can't wait to start!

Tomorrow, all the newcomers are going on a survival course for a week with ski-doos and sledges. We're going to camp in the snow and learn things like what to do if we fall down a crevasse*. I hope there won't be a blizzard like the one we had on my first day here.

Well, bye for now! I'll tell you all about the course when I'm back at the research station next week.

Matt

* Crevasses are deep cracks in the ice, sometimes covered by snow!
