Sparky On Ice The Coldest Podcast on the Internet
By Robert Ray
Have you ever wondered what is is like to live and work at McMurdo station Antarctica?
Well wonder no more.
Hi, My name is Rob and I am an electrician and I get to see and do stuff most others don't get an opportunity to do.
Join me as I set up airfield lighting, take a snowmobile ride to the base of a volcano, or a helicopter ride to a remote island station.
It is not always glamorous here, but I love working here. So go ahead and subscribe and get to me and the most inhospitable place on the planet.
