Clare man in running for job on Antarctic island

A Clare man is one of more than 1,000 people looking to get a job in the Antarctic next winter.

Four posts are up for grabs on Goudier Island, to run the shop, post office, maintenance and museum operation at Port Lockroy.

Anthony Galvin is not put off by the fact that there is no running water and only limited communications.

Now living in Cork, he says he has been out in temperatures as low as minus 45 degrees, and loves it.

Mr Galvin told The Irish Daily Mail: "I have always been obsessed with polar exploration, even as a child."

"I love the snow, the cold, the Northern Lights and the wilderness. I have been out in temperatures as low as -45C, and I love it."
