A perilous land of glaciers is one of the most remote places on earth - where sub-zero temperatures mean only 10 people live here.

King Edward Point is the smallest capital in terms of population and is located on South Georgia Island, approximately 1,400 km southeast of the Falkland Islands. It is a permanent research station of the British Antarctic Survey. King Edward Point Research Station is at the entrance to King Edward Cove, so remote that it is only accessible by boat.

In summer, between 20 and 40 people live in the resort, but in winter, only ten people dare to stay there due to the drop in temperatures. British Antarctic Survey staff are employed on 17-month contracts while three government officers are employed to live and work at the station on an overlapping rotation.

Of those who live there, one is a fisheries scientist, another a zoological field assistant for seals and penguins, two navigation officers, a doctor, a station manager and two technicians. The main objective of the researchers is to provide scientific advice to help marine protected areas. Attention is also drawn to the sustainable management of commercial fisheries around the island.

The team has published a number of "projects" ranging from Gentoo Penguin Tracking to understanding the impact of plastics. And we can say that life here is not easy.

They must endure harsh winters and must be prepared for snow at any time. Temperatures range from -15°C in winter to over 20°C in summer, but the region is normally covered in snow between May and October. Each resident takes turns cooking, cleaning and baking, accompanied by a traditional three-course meal every Saturday evening.

In addition, they undergo navigation training as well as search and rescue exercises. According to the British Antarctic Survey, their team creates its own entertainment and participates in "mountain wake-up, skiing, a half marathon, miniature yacht races, movie nights and annual entry to the Antarctic Film Festival". /p>
