Maybe. But wouldn't you rather be paid if you have to shit in an outhouse while endlessly smelling penguin shit for five months while you deal with a bunch of idiot tourists who think a cruise to Antarctica is a good idea?
Not only do you get to be surrounded by penguin shit for 5 months, there's no running water so you have to pee/crap in a bucket/outhouse, and they said the only time you can shower is when passing cruise ships let you. Also, due to the terrain, you basically can't go anywhere. Finally, there's practically no phone or internet connection either! Sounds like paradise! Sign me up!
