Man’s viral video of ‘typical workday in Antarctica is scary
“Wait…. So this isn’t a moving train?” wrote an Instagram user while reacting to the viral video showing a ‘typical workday’ in Antarctica.
Working in Antarctica is certainly different from working conditions in other places on Earth. The extreme temperatures clubbed with relentless winds undoubtedly make things tougher for the researchers and the scientists stationed there. Tomasz Kurczaba, head of 47th Polish Antarctic Expedition, recently shared a video to give a glimpse into such conditions.
“Typical workday in Antarctica,” he wrote as he shared the video on Instagram. He also added that the clip is captured at King George Island. The video opens to show an expeditioner standing in front of a door trying to close it. At first glance, it looks like they are trying to close the door of a moving train. However, it soon becomes clear that that movement seen outside the door is of strong wind and snow.

“I thought it was a train,” commented an Instagram user. “The new snowpiercer series looks wild,” joked another. “Wait…. So this isn’t a moving train?” added a third. “Serious question. if she/he would have lost grip of the door would they have been ok?” asked a fourth. To which, Kurczaba replied, “Probably no because next to doors is the southern ocean.” A fifth wrote, “Am i the only one that thought they were on a train?”
