00:00Situated on Adelaide Island, in Western Antarctica, rather a research station...
00:05...is the largest of two bases owned by the British Antarctic Survey.
00:10We would hear that Mike Bryan launched his career with BAS 15 years ago as a polar guide.
00:15He's now co-manager of operations for the station, which is looking for workers.
00:20We need chefs, we need vehicle operators, we need boat handlers.
00:25We need mountaineers to help people move around safely in the areas further.
00:30We need station, we need plumbers, we need joiners, we need builders, and we need...
00:35...medics, we need a doctor, and really we need every trade that you can...
00:40...imagine a small community needs to be successful.
00:44The station is home to...
00:45...to around 150 people, including scientists studying wildlife and the impacts of climate...
00:50...and climate change.
00:51BAS is also recruiting workers at its HALI 6 research...
00:55...the station, which is situated some 1,800 kilometres from Rothera.
01:00Carpenter Phil Kuhlman arrived last year and is strongly encouraging potential applicants.
01:05It never fails to sort of impress you when you hear...
01:10...whether it be a mirage on the horizon or...
01:15...if the snow comes in and you see sun halos during the day, which you...
01:20...don't rarely get to see anywhere else.
01:22And then there's the...
01:24...if there's the fog in...
01:25...and all the snow's being blown up and you get the diamond dust...
01:27...and stuff that looks and everything sparkles.
01:29It's...
01:30Yeah, it's a...
01:31...it's a...
01:32...it's a beautiful place to be.
01:33BAS is advertising the job...
01:35...on their website...
01:36...and plan to hold an open day at their UK headquarters in March.
01:40All applicants are required to have a reasonable level of fitness.
01:43Certain diseases such as diabetes...
01:45...are not suitable for the harsh conditions on Antarctica.
