No polar bear furs, I did wear some seal skin boots though that were pretty warm though. While it was cold, it was dry, so I was still able to walk outside over to the gym in shorts

Unfortunately there is restricted drinking up there, 2/day. It didn't really bother me too much since I'm not a big drinker anyways, but on the nights where they did let us have a bit more we had some pretty good times. Drunken 3am dodgeball is fun. We had a ceremony for the sunset, and I imagine there was one for the sunrise as well, I left a couple days before it happened :(

The 24 hour daylight really messed with my head, walking outside at 3am and seeing the sun at the top of the sky like it was noon really confuses your body. I had a way easier time with the 24 darkness as by the time I was done work it felt like it should be dark outside anyways. A lot of people get depressed during the darkness, but if you keep busy enough around the station you handle it just fine

I did see Santa, and he even let me walk around his workshop. The elves are not little people as most of the world believes, but actually 50+ year old disgruntled old men who smell like sawdust and cigarettes. It is a happy place

As long as there is no wind, it feels alright. A dry -35 will make your nose stick together when you breathe, but it has a hard time penetrating your clothes. As soon as that wind picks up though it is like being stabbed all over the body with thousands of icy blades. We had one storm that hit -60C with the wind chill. My face felt like it was being shaved with an icicle razor

I had sex this morning and am sitting in the theater waiting for the "Deadpool" credits to finish, and this ranks among the best things today!

Welcome back!!

Thanks JC :wub: Hopefully the quality of the sex was not diminished by my return, usually I only like to ruin my own sex, not other peoples

That's cool though, my uncle did something like that recently and I heard a lot of interesting stories

Many interesting stories take place in isolated places like that, I can only imagine the ones that other people have

Quote:Originally posted by probablydrunk@Feb 29 2016, 08:19 PM What was the population?

How does the booze get there?

Were there any inconveniences of the 24 hour light/dark you didn't expect?

According the census, the population is 1. There is one person up there who does a 14 month tour for Environment Canada and since he does not really have a home down south, his residence is Alert. During the summer though, we get about 130 people on station, and during the winter we hit a low of 68 people

Everything gets flown in, which is pretty crazy to think about when you consider every single building, vehicle and item up there had to come in by plane.

The only thing I really noticed that I did not expect, was that I had more naps during 24 hours daylight then I did 24 hour darkness

Jesus, I had to walk about 1.5km a week or two ago in freezing rain/ice pellets and that was miserable enough but -60c with wind chill? Fuck no, nope, nope, nope.

Welcome back buddy! Didn't realize you had gone there in the first place. Sounds fun and creepy at the same time.

Who are you?

by the way ... a huge experience this 6 months! I would love to have the same.

Damn, I was wondering where you were some time back. I missed you. And this trip sounds great, thanks for sharing the details!

May I ask how much it cost to make it happen?

Merica · 03-14-2016, 08:20 PM
