Cooking South III
Three Consecutive Winters at the South Pole
CookingSouth Three . . . Again and Again?!
My Third Consecutive Winter at the South Pole.
I left Skagway, Alaska to begin working at the South Pole back in October 2005. I have worked as a cook at Amundsen-Scott Station, South Pole, Antarctica ever since. My first contract lasted nearly 13 months. I didn't expect to return, however, in the 11-hour I was called up as an alternate, signing another 9 month contract. That was my second consecutive winter. Now, beginning in February 2008, I have started my third consecutive winter. This time I am running the culinary show, as the Sous Chef, the top kitchen position on location here at the pole. By completion of this contract, I will have spent, 31 of the last 37 months living in the coldest driest place on earth.
This website chronicles my experiences living working and playing at the brand new Amundsen-Scott Station at the bottom of the earth.
