Survival Training in Antarctica - Everything Antarctica Podcast

Following on from our episode on Antarctic clothing, in this weeks episode, we talk about the. Survival training that we do when we get to the ice. This allows us to take those clothing layers and experiment with them in a safe environment, with professionals supervising. It’s not that easy to just turn up in Antarctica, and instantly expect to know how to cope with the extreme weather conditions. Understanding this, everyone who deploys to Antarctica undergoes a level of training to understand how to survive in the world’s least hospitable environment. Beyond clothing, we also talk about signing out, carrying a survival bag, spare clothes, a radio, and anything else we might need to stay safe. We also touch on the overnight camping adventure we get to go on, and how we go about sleeping in tents and how we stay warm during the night!
