RE: The Marion Island South African research team goes round island
And the experience goes way beyond science research! Imagine living with the same group of people for an entire year with nobody else around. We really learn how to get along with each other.
That would be a challenge in itself though... Same people to put up with, though if there is a decent amount of you then you got a lot of interesting stories and conversations you can have plus many more good friends to have them become.
Yeah, and we're doing different kinds of research. Some people came to the island as couples research teams, some are singles. Some are bird people and some are seal people, so we have our own kind of built-in diversity - lol! We're all pretty chilled here, and knowing we're going to be together on the island for months on end with nobody else coming keeps us focused.
That's great and at least you still get to enjoy it and the company you have.
