Antarctica is a continent of extremes....fire and ice. It is home to the southern most volcano, Mt Erebus.
In order to work in this environment safely, it requires a few trainings:
• Crary Lab Safety
• Environmental Field Brief
• Dry Valley (ASMA) Field Training - the Dry Valleys are a protected area, special permissions required.
• Protecting Antarctica's Environment
• Waste Management - this is a pristine continent - zero waste policy - yes, that means ship it ALL back.
• Communications - radio contact with MacOps
• Helo -- yes, this IS HELICOPTER training!
• Snow School - i built a QUINZEE (if you don't know what it is...see above)
