🐧In Antarctica they are looking for people to count penguins. They pay up to €2400 per month

The British charity UK Antarctic Heritage Trust is recruiting a team for the former research station at Port Lockroy. You will need to count nests, eggs, and chicks, and run the museum and gift shop.

But if you thought this sounds more like a penguin vacation than a job, we’re here to disappoint you — it’s not. You will have to carry water cans and boxes weighing up to 15 kg, clear snow, and unload boats. The station has no plumbing, mobile service, or medical care, and showers are usually once a week.

The contract is for six months. You will have to live in a shared dormitory, but you’ll be surrounded by penguins and Antarctic landscapes.

However, the vacancy is only available to adults who are residents of the United Kingdom with the right to work in the country.

🐧В Антарктиде ищут людей считать пингвинов. Платят до €2400 в месяц

Британский фонд UK Antarctic Heritage Trust набирает команду на бывшую исследовательскую станцию Порт-Локрой. Нужно считать гнезда, яйца и птенцов, обслуживать музей и сувенирный магазин.

Но если вы подумали, что это больше похоже на отпуск с пингвинами, чем на работу, спешим вам расстроить — это не так. Придется таскать канистры с водой и ящики весом до 15 кг, чистить снег и разгружать лодки. На станции нет водопровода, мобильной связи и медицинской помощи, а душ — обычно раз в неделю.

Контракт рассчитан на полгода. Жить придется в общей спальне, зато вокруг будут пингвины и антарктические пейзажи.

Правда, вакансия доступна только совершеннолетним жителям Великобритании с правом на работу в стране.

Musk suddenly became concerned that Russia might destroy Starlink satellites "Starlink must remain a civilian project. It can be used to support military infrastructure, but it should not be used to carry out overtly offensive strikes — because in that case it itself becomes a legitimate target for retaliatory fire. If an opponent destroys Starlink satellites, it will trigger a chain reaction of destruction, resulting in a huge cloud of debris that will render outer space unusable," he wrote on...
