A Roundup of Antarctic Blogs

Contract & Seasonal Jobs, Income & Jobs, Nomadic Lifestyle, Overseas Jobs

For the most part you wouldn’t know it from reading here on a regular basis that I’m currently at the South Pole. My take on life here is that it’s monotonous at best. There are a handful of other bloggers here at the South Pole and elsewhere in Antarctica who tend to keep their writing more focused on Antarctica. For a take on life in Antarctica from a perspective other than mine you can check out the blogs and sites of any of these folks who are currently wintering:

At the South Pole:
