A very interesting interview

Today we interviewed Evangelos Kaimakamis via skype. He is a greek doctor who works at the Concordia research base in Antarctica (http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Human_Spaceflight/Concordia). As it is summer now there the temperature is 40 degrees below zero (in the winter it is -80 degrees)!!! Amazing! It made me so big impression along with the fact that the night lasts for four months and then the day for another four months!

Evangelos Kaimakamis has been for almost a year at this isolated, white desert!! What gives him courage to go on is the importance of the scientific work that is being done there. It is definitely a unique experience!
