The scientific research agency has launched a recruitment drive, aimed directly at women. The agency is looking for female chefs, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and boat handlers to work for 6-18 months in the antarctic.
"Where else can you work in an environment surrounded by penguins, seals and icebergs and climb down a crevasse during your lunch hour?" said Jill Thomson, head of building services at the BAS. The starting salary is 18,338 pounds ($34,640) plus an Antarctic allowance. All food, accommodation and travel are paid for.
The company calls it a tremendous chance for women with a sense of adventure to try something different. The salary may not be as high as those in the UK, but with no outgoings, it's a chance to save up. Perhaps for a trip to somewhere hot?
Temperatures on the continent range from 5°c in the summer to -40°c in the winter.
