Antarctic Film Festival
In 2013, when I first tried to go for an overwintering with the TAAF, I discovered the Antarctic Film Festival and I loved it!

America, America!
I am going to introduce you to one of the most fascinating, and dangerous, buildings in Concordia Station: the American Tower. It is not easy to find precise information about this tower. It is one of the oldest buildings on the base. In the early 2000s, even before the construction of the permanent station, this […] Continuer la lecture
