Antarctica for the Non-Creative

Summary: We’ve highlighted opportunities for the creative-minded to travel to Antarctica and the Northern Oceans. Here is an opportunity for those that are not so creative that are still interested in traveling to the South Pole.

McMurdo Station in Antarctica needs sous chefs, human resources coordinators, mountaineers, fire fighters, doctors, carpenters and many more to help run the research center on Ross Island. The United States Antarctic Program is managed by the National Science Foundation. There are around 3,000 people working for the USAP each year to perform scientific research or support the researchers.
