Over to you...

by Tamsin Gray Department: Science & Society

What does it feel like to work in a white out?
Why doesn't Antarctic snow stick together to make snowballs?
How fast do sausages freeze and beer cans stick to your lips at an Antarctic winter BBQ?
How can the Antarctic atmosphere bend the sun's light so that we see buildings upside down?
Why is Antarctica, which holds most of the fresh water in the world, a desert?

Whatever you want to know about life and science in Antarctica, I want to hear from YOU!

Leave a question in the comments below and I'll answer it in my next post.

Here are a few questions:

How do you generate power? Any solar or wind energy used?
Do you store any food supplies outside or is it too cold?
Is weird to celebrate Christmas (pardon my assumption if you don't) at the beginning of summer in the Southern Hemisphere surrounded by snow?
