Doctor needed in Antarctica

Doctor needed in Antarctica - 7 June 2010 - It's harsh, demanding, isolated and even hostile, but a unique place: Concordia research station in Antarctica. ESA is now looking for someone with medical training to join the next crew to overwinter in Concordia. Right now, 13 people are living in Concordia down in Antarctica. While we enjoy summer here in the north, the southern hemisphere is cooling and most of the great continent around the South Pole is frozen under the long, dark winter. Typically in February, research stations in Antarctica either close down for the winter or prepare for months of solitude, reliant on their own resources and communicating with the outside world only via radio. The first expeditions of the next summer won?t arrive until November. The French-Italian Concordia research station is one of the few permanent stations in Antarctica.
