537 Days Isolated at Pole
David Nof, leader of an Australian research expedition, spent 537 days with a team of 24 people at Davis Station in Antarctica after the COVID-19 pandemic halted the flights and ships that were supposed to bring them home. They returned to Australia in April 2021. The team coped with isolation through group gatherings and shared activities, while planning their work around the harsh weather, including winds of more than 100 kilometres per hour. Nof said that returning to a world that had changed in their absence was disorienting. The experience highlighted the importance of flexibility and teamwork, and revealed the effects of human pollution even in remote areas.
