Cool. Not to say chilly. But it immediately made me want to post the same text to a variety of different job sites. Monster. Taskrabbit. Craigslist. You know you want it.

At least it’s a steady job. Long months of complete darkness = long months of regular payslips. No zero-hour contracts aboard Endurance.
(And Shackleton would presumably have written “honour”. “Honour? What do you Americans know about honour? You can’t even spell it!”)
A long, interesting set of posts/updates on this tends toward it not being real. But the real stuff is fascinating.
