    brr.fyi has become quite a popular blog about the life of a person who is over wintering at the US south pole station. I like this blog a lot, shows a lot of the unseen challenges and daily life of living in a very inhospitable place at the end of the earth. The photography of the poster is excellent, givivng a glimpse into what looks like a totally alien world reminiscent of 90's era hard scifi.

      Fascinating. I never would have thought that tomatoes and basil are grown at the South Pole. Or trying to eat ice cream kept at -70F (-21.1C).

      The pictures and video of the polar night are beautiful and kind of eerie. And 4 minutes of shower per week!

        Using a freezer to warm up your ice cream sounds like some paradox. By the way -70F is -57C.

    A tolerable latte, with powdered milk and coffee beans roasted 3 years ago.

    This might be a contender for the saddest sentence I have read in my entire life.

    Thanks for sharing, what an interesting read. The greenhouse is fascinating to me—I, too, would love spending time in the humidity around plants if I otherwise existed in a dry, lifeless environment for that long.
