Matt of the Antarctic.0:14
My year in Antarctica.0:27
Week 1: My Antarctic Adventure Begins.0:30
Well, here I am at the scientific research station in Antarctica, the coldest, windiest, and driest continent in the world.0:36
It's summer right now, so the weather is quite mild.0:46
There are still a lot of gales though.0:54
And of course, the sun never sets in the summer, which is really weird.0:56
Despite the freezing cold, the scenery and wildlife here are incredible.1:00
There are seals everywhere, and yesterday I saw a humpback whale.1:05
Everyone is warning me about the winter here.1:10
The temperature will drop to about -40°C, and the sun won't rise at all.1:13
There will only be 20 of us, and we won't have any visitors for 7 months.1:19
It'll be difficult, but at least I'm going to be very busy.1:24
As a marine biologist, I'm going to study the way marine wildlife adapts to extreme temperatures.1:29
I'm also going to do a survey of the threatened emperor penguin.1:36
I can't wait to start.1:39
Tomorrow all the newcomers are going on a survival course for a week with ski-doos and sledges.1:42
We're going to camp in the snow, and learn things like what to do if we fall down a crevasse.1:49
I hope there won't be a blizzard like the one we had on my first day here.1:55
I'll tell you all about the course when I'm back at the research station next week.2:01
The research station.2:08
This will be my home for the next year.2:09
I'll follow it with interest from my nice cozy house.2:17

Sounds amazing there, Matt, but so cold.2:28
Tim T, 12th of the 12th at 5:35 PM.2:31
Inland, the temperature drops to -70 degrees Celsius in the winter.2:39
