#they accept one intern a season specifically favoring graduates from my museum and heritage studies program

I just want everyone to know that there's a museum on the sub-Antarctic Island of South Georgia which is visited by over 10,000 visitors a year from Antarctic cruise ships. Combined with the population of the research station South Georgia Island has a population of like 25 people. South Georgia is like. A Rock. and there is just a building that if you go inside it it's a whole ass museum about whaling and Shackleton like that's some magical realism if you ask me.

#they accept one intern a season specifically favoring graduates from my museum and heritage studies program #so your girl is. Applying. #But it is so incredibly surreal #like it's like lol yeah you need to be surveyed by the Antarctic Medical Survey Team bc obviously you need to be quite healthy #they fucking fly you out to the Falkand Islands and then you get on a boat #and I'm reading the job description and it's all like yeah lead tours #do front-of-house stuff #help to take care of the objects and exhibit them #that all sounds super great but my favorite bit is in the busy tour group times you may have to help with the gift shop #which I'm fine with like sure love me a museum gift shop happy to run one #but it's just so bizarre like all these employees get examined and undergo a week long journey to get to this island #and it's all because the tourists will actually come and buy postcards and shit at this museum at the end of the world #I really really really want to do it
