Hey, man! I've been showing your video to my ESL students for quite a while. We always marvel at how America managed to take the oppressive idea of a research station in the coldest place on Earth and turn it into the comfiest-looking high-school experience one could imagine. 😀 I hope you're doing alright and that life's treating you well. Take care and happy travels!

@@AdrianSilea Hey mate! Thanks so much for letting me know! That’s really awesome. I was actually born in Sweden so I took some ESL classes when I moved to the US. I’m glad my videos have been helpful and that you and your students are enjoying them ☺️ Things are great with me, thanks! I’ve actually moved to New Zealand and been living here for five years! Currently working on getting citizenship, which has been great ☺️

@GoneVenturing Well, your English is impeccable, so someone's done their job (and learning) right! Yeah, we ooh and aah at the music room, the gym, the crafts room and all those neat places. Great experience and amazing to have it shared. I'm very glad to hear you didn't drop off the face of the planet after your most recent videos four years ago - I hear Antarctica's pretty close to those geomagnetically dramatic edges. 😜 Hope you meet some haka-chanting hobbits soon. And maybe a return to form with travel videos. All the best!

@ Ahh thank you, I appreciate that! I did move when I was seven, so I did start pretty young, which was very helpful! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the videos though! I’m really happy people are still finding them informative after all these years! I actually do miss making videos and have been thinking about getting back into it. Less of the travel, but I’ve gotten quite into adventure sports since living in NZ. Things like mountaineering and paragliding, which I think would be great content! We’ll see though, I do marketing full time now (because of the things I learned with this channel) so it’s sometimes hard to motivate myself to create content when I’ve been doing so much of it all the time. Anyways, thanks again!!

So, when you say that the Dark Sector is where all of the astronomy-type stuff is happening, are saying that MAPO is doing no astronomy stuff? Can you elaborate on the differences between the Dark Sector research vs. MAPO research? What are the research findings hopes and expectations for the Dark Sector vs. MAPO? Just out of curiosity, how much did the Dark Sector facility cost to build vs. the cost to build MAPO? Much thanks for your excellent content.

Thank you very much for this visit. You guys are really doing a great job. I very admire and appreciate it. I have been watching many videos made by station people in Antarctica. All are very interesting. What surprised me about the station's architecture is that the colours in the design are not usually good enough to make people feel more relaxed and comfortable. Mine is not critics but I see the same design mistakes in many stations. They have space but are not designed functionally. Building up a station in the coldest place on Earth is a real challenge, but the design that makes people more relaxed is not so difficult. I see fewer shelves to store things and always messy rooms due to lack of boxes and storage units. Lighting is also another issue. Dark walls and dark floors absorb the light. The light is so important to keep the mood high and positive. Although all my critics, to live and to work in a station must be really cool and an important experience. I wish I could have it. I wrote my comments so an expert may find them worthy for future design projects. Regards

Not seeing the sun for 6 months is hard to grasp mentally. I can't imagine what it does to your pysche once you're there, and realise, I'm not going to see that sun again for 6 months... It's not something a person can easily comprehend. So used to seeing the Sun each day, as we are.
