Five months of total darkness… the same people day in and day out… no fresh food for six months… 


Antarctic winters are no joke.


But one of the scariest things about signing up to spend a winter in Antarctica is considering what it might do to your mental health.


In this episode of Antarctica Did That For Me, we (your hosts Keri Nelson and Cassa Grant) discuss how we personally managed our mental health during the winters we spent in Antarctica. 


We’ll share our thoughts and experiences going into our first winters, the challenges we faced, and the strategies we used to stay mentally healthy as we could.
