This was the longest and most arduous research trip I had ever endured.
I knew it would take a lot of mental and physical strength to handle it, but this was my research project so I had to see it through to the end.
A team of 15 of us went to the northernmost edge of the continent, where we would need to stay for almost ten months. This was a project to study the environment, so we had to spend a long period of time doing research. Because we would need to create a makeshift compound, I bought a series of converted shipping container homes to use for our living quarters and research labs. Shipping container homes are large and sturdy, and could easily handle the intense weather conditioners we had to endure. I found other kinds of portable facilities, as well, to make sure that all of our needs would be taken care of. Portables showers for the male and female scientists, of course, as well as separate portable restrooms. We brought two portable kitchens, one of which to be used for making food, the other for storing living samples that would need either heating or refrigeration. The portable kitchens were fully stocked with all amenities and appliances, just like the kitchen from an apartment. Most of the shipping container homes were used for research and study. There was also a mobile hemp extraction lab, so we could grow our own cannabis even without sunlight or rain. We did survive the ten months on the edge of the world, and got some amazing results.
