OT: Antarctic Expedition

[Dr Ross Hofmeyr]

Hi all,

 

Apologies to those who co-subscribe to CCM-L/TRAUMA-L/EMED-L for the
multiple copies.

 

I've been approached with a view to becoming the expedition doctor for the
next over-wintering expedition of the South African National Antarctic
Project, at the SANAE IV base in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.  While
visiting/working Antarctica has always been a dream, the 14 month duration
is daunting.

 

I'm sure there must be doctors amongst this online community who have had
experiences similar to this.  I'd love to hear your experiences and thoughts
on the issue.  Feel free to respond off-list if you prefer.

 

Thanks in advance,

Ross.
