Surveying in Antartica

Its been an absolute dream of mine to visit Antartica and do some surveying.
I'd be happy with just one day!

I'd really love to get a GPS and conduct a control survey, monitor movement of a glacier, or conduct some sort of survey.

Living in Australia, I guess i could say that " I'm a stones throw away" however, it isn't such an easy thing to get down there.

There are tours ofcourse but you can't just show up at the local employment office and request
work in Antartica.

So, how do you get there?

How does one get an opportunity to have work experience there?

Has anyone been to Antartica before?

We'd really like you to share your experience of Antartica, you work you carried out, share photos, videos or advice.

Any story on Global Surveyors is FREE everytime, so if you have something to share please do.

Has anyone else had the same thought about surveying in Antartica?

If you know how to get work experience in Antartica, please write to us and we'll share the story on our website.

Lets see if we can chat about in on Global Surveyors http://www.globalsurveyors.com.au/ before it melts!!
