For many travelers and adventurers, Antarctica is on the list of future destinations. For most, it usually stays on the list, unexplored and always in the distance. But for some, further than the tourists who stop once in awhile, there are those who live and work in Antarctica, and who find that the continent makes and leaves a lasting impression on their lives. Keri Nelson has been a contractor in Antarctica for twelve years. In this episode, we talk about what draws her back season after season, where life took her before Antarctica, and what life is like on the ice.
If you’re interested in working in Antarctica, you can find job opportunities and information about the U.S. Antarctic Program at www.USAP.gov.
