Peter Ellis worked on the coldest, driest, windiest continent on earth - Antartica. In fact he did two tours of duty, each time spending a year living and working at a place known as “the final frontier”.

Peter was originally employed as a carpenter but ended up being in charge of the dogs and the dogs breeding program. He recalls the years spent in Antartica with pragmatism and extreme fondness.
