Not a subject you would really think about very often or at all really. It makes for a interesting read though.

>Hello infrastructure enthusiasts! I had a lot of fun back in August 2023 talking about South Pole Electrical Infrastructure. Since then, several people have asked me to detail other infrastructure systems. I started this post while I was still at Pole, but I only finally got around to finishing it. Better late than never – enjoy!

I once turned down an opportunity to be South Pole facility engineer overwinter. Scared the shit out of me

Just imagine diverse hires handling the critical infrastructure. Or sabotaging it, like in the space station. Fucking X-Files episode right there.

I always thought it would be really interesting to work in a north/south pole research base. I knew someone I worked with that did IT/networking in the northpole. The only thing that was a no-go was I couldn't be away from wife/family for the time they wanted. I also found out later that basically everyone on the base cheats like fucking crazy. Not my thing and that made me even less interested.
