Intro to the South Pole Station - McMurdo to Amundsen-Scott - South Pole vlogs #6

FINALLY we head out to South Pole! In this video you see the flight through the Transantarctic Mountains, as well as a breakdown of the station layout using my 3D model. Enjoy!

[@timoonitamarooni]

Love this!!! I'm aiming for winter of 22 with GHG, but we'll see!

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Best of luck!

[@christinawolfe5928]

Would love to have anything in your giveaway. I especially live your prints that's my favorite. I be happy with anything really. I loved you sharing your station comments! Through your eyes I got to see a place I'd never visit. Thanks!

I have dairy goats. Sold a couple to a woman who was a member of several public flat earth FB groups. Looking through the group it was obvious they didn't want to be bothered with science or the obvious.

[@aidanfletcher4045]

Hey Joe. Waiting eagerly for more long form content about the station if you got it. would love to see the "close down" wintering video you teased at the end of this vid

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Coming soon 🙂 I'm heading on a weekend trip but will be working on new stuff as soon as i can

[@kateogilvie2500]

I find this so interesting. I also follow someone in Svalbard. I so want to go work in either place now and experience polar nights and/or the summers with constant day light. Thanks for sharing!

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

You should! It's amazing. Is that Cecillia on Svalbard? love her stuff too

[@kateogilvie2500]

@@JoeSpinstheGlobe yes! I love her content! Both areas are so drastically different from life here in NJ. I’m at a point in my life I want to try something new and out of the box.

[@joeconn3394]

Awesome content in the process of heavy equipment operator job up there really nice getting some video of the place

Awesome! That is the best compliment, to know that I'm helping teach future generations :) :)

One of my favorite channels! Thanks for sharing! How long was the flight from McMurdo to the South Pole?

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

thanks! About 4 hours

[@BigZhukov]

What temperature do they keep the interior of the station?

[@MarcoTedaldi]

I know, I'm late to the game but I only just now found your channel. It's amazing! You traveled from sea level to 2835m above sealevel. Did you feel this? How did you acclimate yourself? Were you prepared for this?

[@paulharvey61]

Hey Joe I followed you on TikTok but I'm gonna start fresh with the whole story on KZbin thanks a lot for your story

[@williamh2702]

Hey Joe, I saw you on a Facebook video,on adtumbled across about what its like living in the South Pole, and i saw you, and I found ur youtube channel haha. I'm glad I found it, what are the odds haha. How are things going down there at the south pole.

[@artman40]

Why is the footage filmed upside-down?

[@johnf817]

Where are you? Where are the rest of the videos? I just found your videos did I miss something?

[@svivas9189]

Ayo when that next vid coming

[@royals312]

Probably not for a while. Once you’re there the internet is awful plus it’s winter their now. But he does manage to upload videos on his TikTok!

[@rcmc7352]

More videos please :)

[@lauxmyth]

"Keys and locks are rare..." Well, guess not much chance for me to get a job there. Also, I do not photograph keys which are still in use and put on the net. I can see a section of the master key system just there and guess the one key outside the system holds your narcotics. Just a guess. No need to confirm nor deny.

[@SleepParty30]

Have you ever seen a compass' behavior at the "south pole"? If you go towards it, it should be pointing backwards, right? Because you're walking away from north. And when you pass the south pole, it should rotate and point forwards, right? Because you went from North to south, reached south, and suddenly going south to north. Anyone know of such an experiment? I can't find anything legit and convincing.

[@MikeSmith-rj3bu]

Is there a sun at night there?

[@billparker244]

Where's the ion cannon?

[@PinstripeJim]

Can you do a tour of the clinic and compare it to the MCM clinic? Former long time USAP employee here that never made it to Pole.

[@janamartin4048]

For those that haven’t found him yet, all his current updates are on TikTok, by the same name 🙂

[@cpypcy]

When is the next video coming?

[@johnlangston1257]

Could you make a video describing how someone could work there and how much you could get to paid, I think that would be an awesome place to work and very I formative

[@nickenzi]

Any chance KC4AAA will be on the air soon?

[@Stephen_Strange]

Why not build underground, surely it would be warmer. :)

[@narein]

Hi Joe! My name is Narein and I am a huge fan of your South pole videos! I'm super interested in bio related research in the south pole as well! currently I'm a second year student at the University of Waterloo in microbiology and computer science. This term I am to apply for COOP jobs for my following winter term (Jan to april) and I was wondering if there was any position I can apply to in the south pole, or if you could help me find a position ! It's my dream to work In the south pole!

[@marthaparra3423]

It’s been more than a month that you’ve posted!!! Are you ok???

[@djtobygaming]

Can we get a video of how they maintain equipment such as the aircraft and other vehicles in the cold

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Well there's no aircraft on the continent right now due to the cold, but may be able to do that for the land vehicles

[@MarcoPolo-qo1ge]

How can we join you guys? 😅

[@navahou]

this is absolutely amazing ! my question: what it takes or how can you get a job in south pole ?

[@amandah9354]

That depends on the country where you have citizenship. In the US most get positions either through a research institution or the USAP contractors (www.usap.gov/jobsandopportunities/)

[@navahou]

@@amandah9354 i mean i knew you need to be scientist or something but also other jobs are need there.

[@amandah9354]

@@navahou Look at the website. Anything not related to the NSF is support staff for science. There are opportunities for welders, carpenters, mechanics (large equipment mostly), janitors, electricians, plumbers, chefs, kitchen staff. It's a treasure trove of opportunity, but it may be more empty now. Most summer (Sept/Oct-Feb/Mar) jobs are posted in January, and there are a lot more summer opportunities than winter.

[@navahou]

@@amandah9354 i will. thanks for that. they always will need chefs to cook for the staff :)

[@RS4B7BLACK]

No next videos what happened to you bro

[@prettybluesilverado8598]

What happen to the awesome videos whyd they stop

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Starting posting on TikTok instead during the year but I'm coming back!

[@kilowag]

Good Day Joe. I am in the process of crafting a Podcast Audio Drama which takes place in Amundsen-Scott. Would you be willing to e-chat so I can make sure my story is as authentic as possible? I'd love first-hand accounts of what living in the station is like. Is there a station-wide PA system? Other than team 4, are there other first responders and what are they called. Is there truly a rift between beakers and contractors. What does the Music room smell like.... I have questions!!!

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

It's funny, I've had the thought to try my hand at writing a thriller while I'm here as well. If you like you can contact me on instagram @JoeSpinsTheGlobe, that's usually where I chat directly.

[@vince5474]

How did earn money/ was your job there?

[@emmihh88]

Do you have to pay taxes working there & can you collect retirement or do they offer a 401k? :) Thanks!

[@Barra32]

Does everyone get free canada goose stuff?

[@ImTheDaveman]

Okay no internet! Evil place this is! LOL. But I am thinking Elon Musk's Star-Link will cure the internet issue at some point soon.

[@020untitled]

How come you didn't upload that trash video here?

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

It's difficult, because TikTok has a vertical format and YT has horizontal format. It's such a pain to shoot things twice, and shooting wide then cropping usually doesn't work. I am working on videos for here as well, I've just been busy and YT has been the thing to suffer

[@020untitled]

Understood…anyways, love your videos. U have wifi at the station?

Hi Joe, just curious why you guys use nautical terms? Are many of the scientists former military?

[@Gunbudder]

the way you pronounce "berthing" sounds like "birthing" and it makes me crazy lol

[@savemoneyongroupon]

You talk on your tik tok of 24hr sun timelapse in Antarctica during day. But then no time lapses. So I come here to look and no time lapses... so where is the full 24hr time lapse of sun circling you in Antarctica? Thanks would love to see that
