Recruitment has begun for a team to take on an “opportunity like no other” living and working in Antarctica, where they will have no access to Wi-Fi or running water and tackle jobs including a daily penguin count. The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) has launched its latest five-month opening for some of the most remote jobs in the world at Port Lockroy on Goudier Island, Antarctica, located around 9,000 miles from the UK.
The charity needs new recruits to look after the premises at the outpost – which marks its 80th anniversary this year and is home to the world’s most southern Post Office. The team will be responsible for caring for the flagship site, running the Post Office and gift shop, maintaining artefacts at the museum at Bransfield House, and conducting daily counts to protect the colony of gentoo penguins.
UKAHT is looking for individuals with a keen sense of adventure and a love of Antarctica to take on the role. There are five jobs available including base leader, postmaster and wildlife monitor.
