King George Island, which lies just north of the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, is the home of the Polish Antarctic Expedition's main base. By Antarctic standards, it's a rather pleasant place noted for its easy access for visitors and pleasant weather.
Tomasz Kurczaba is a photographer there. He spends what idle time he has swimming in the brisk waters, sunbathing, hiking, kayaking, and hanging out with local wildlife.
Although he makes Antarctica look like an enjoyable vacation destination, it is rather cold and windy at times. In this video, Kurczaba shows a colleague trying to enter the base and close the door after herself.
