I'd have answered it; I'd also have been the only one who didn't survive. They were incredible men.

Ernest Shackleton Arctic Expedition ad and I think not.

I wouldn't. First of all, small wages, c'mon, I'm sure you're current job ( unless unemployed ), pays a lot more. And if you actually thought about a question about bitter cold, danger, etc., then you must be very outdoorsy. And I wouldn't risk my life for that amount of money. The add seems like an scam or joke to me. Besides, don't you have better things to do like school, family, or whatever rather than do this job?
OMG, i just read your additional comment. Part of me doesn't believe you and the other part is like whoa, u got skill.

Sounds like an ad that may have been placed for future astronauts, perhaps for a trip to mars.

No. I wouldn't want to be fishing for Salmon in the Bering Straight.
Nor would I care to do research in Antarctica.

If memory serves, it was the ad allegedly placed for South Pole explorers. I like cold, but not well enough to have answered THAT ad ;-)

No. I liked a bit of adventure when I was younger and healthier...but even then I knew where to draw the line between adventure and insanity

I would not because I'm too old for that cr@p and I have a family.
My guess is that's for a position at a Polar base.

sounds like the time I spent in Thule, Greenland when I was in the service.
