What keeps us going..
It has occurred to me recently that all of things that I have seen, the work I have done and all the leisure time we have enjoyed is only because we are not dead. Now that's a weird thing to say I know and kind of obvious but as I have said several times about living here in Antarctica, its a beautiful place but it will kill you dead very quickly if you don't watch what you are doing. And the biggest reason we aren't dead is because we have this wonderful Station to live and work in. So I thought I would spend some time sharing about what it is that keeps us not dead down here on Station. So what we need to be alive is shelter, heat, water, food and it's also nice to have things to do so you don't go insane and become the Antarctic Axe murderer. So probably the thing that we dread most would be a power failure.. namely the Main Power House (MPH) stopping its wonderful chugging away. Whilst it is very pleasant to get off Station and go out to the white wilderne...
