A little bit of greenery


With no fresh produce coming onto Station throughout the winter, our hydroponics set up is a delight in keeping some fresh ingredients on our plates. A team of Station volunteers tends to the litte indoor garden hidden away in a shipping container.
Antarctica really is quite devoid of smells, and walking into hydro is almost overpowering in its sweet aromas! Ahh fresh tomatos...say no more.
