Business in Antartica

No matter how tough your business is, at least you probbably won't endure the sort of conditions that Greame Hart did with the British Antartic Survey.

The buildings are built on big steel legs, because the snow surface rises about 1m a year. I was at the fifth base to be built on the Brunt, the others having been long since buried & crushed by the ice.

We got through one flag each year - they get ripped to shreds by all the storms. The flag is lowered on the last day of sunshine in May and a new one raised when the sun returns in August.

If you're looking for something to idle a couple of minutes in recreation, you could do far worse than explore Greame Hart's Antartic site, not least his great collections of photos of his Antartica expedition.
