This is the perfect job if you love winter sports. I sent my resume to Mr Welsh before posting this. I'll post updates when I know more.
UPDATE: Despite my natural insulation and deep affinity for penguins I'm not really qualified for the position. It's a shame really - I hear Antarctica is a hedonist's paradise.

Just...wow.
I totally wish you the best of luck. I hope they have internet there.
Cold is evil.
They've had e-mail in the antarctic since the eighties. I think they've had full IP connectivity almost as long. They use carrier pigeons or penguins or something.
