Java, Postgres developer job. Location? The South Pole

Best quote about working in Antarctica and it's psychological toll:<p><pre><code> The first time you come down for the adventure. The second time for the money. And the third time because you can't function anywhere else anymore. </code></pre> <a href="http://60south.com/about/faq.htm" rel="nofollow">http://60south.com/about/faq.htm</a>

I hear the South Pole is the Silicon Valley of Antarctica.

The salary seems a little low for asking someone to work in the middle of nowhere, away from family, friends and civilization. I know "regular" developers who make more than that.

Amusing: "Must be authorized to work in the United States."

It'd be cool (no pun intended) to see a "Condition 1" storm there:<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz2SeEzxMuE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz2SeEzxMuE</a>

I wonder what they use in the North Pole

In midsummer ... high temperatures at the South Pole average around −25 °C (−12 °F)... - wikipedia

Well, it's too late to apply.

It's not at the south pole, but is a job providing support to research being conducted there.
