What is it like to do the work of "counting penguins" in Antarctica?
The Lockroy Port Post Office in Antarctica recruits employees worldwide to "count the number of local penguins" because of the peculiar and well-paid jobs ($1,600 to $2,300 a month) that attract 6,000 job seekers from around the world.
After layers of screening, 4 women from the UK and Australia won the job. In November they will be heading to Antarctica to start working. So what exactly is it like to "count penguins" in Antarctica?
Don't think the job is easy. Know that the Port Rockroy Post Office is the most remote and coldest post office in the world. Due to its location in Antarctica, local temperatures are often below freezing. And without electricity, there can be no entertainment. Not even a flushing toilet. Due to limited conditions, everyone can only live in one bedroom, using a camping toilet. And away from the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, there is no one around except for a few companions, and you can only be accompanied by penguins every day. Although the working time is only 5 months, it is still very challenging due to the difficult conditions. Of course, such a difficult job, of course, not everyone can do. It is reported that these 4 candidates include masters of science and biologists, which can be said to be proper elites.
If you have the opportunity, I wonder if everyone is willing to try this job?
