A Day In The Life - Mouse Rounds - The Everything Antarctica Podcast
Update: 2024-05-14
Description
This episode explores the concept of mouse rounds at Scott Base in Antarctica. The “mouse” has many duties to fulfil above and beyond their regular duties. These include: printing the day’s weather, manning the radio for the day, recording people’s movements throughout the day, be alert to any changes in weather, and then completing mouse rounds. Mouse rounds are done at the end of the day and ensure that lights are turned off, things are returned to where they live, vehicles are plugged in, freezers and fridges are at the right temperature, container doors are closed among many many more. This is a job that rotates through the crew and is essential to the safety of occupants. We hope you enjoy learning about this unique aspect of life in Antarctica.
