The AtkaXpress is the online magazine of the overwinterers at the German Antarctic research station ‘Neumayer Station III’. Each wintering team consists of nine members – including a doctor, a cook, a plant engineer, an electrical engineer, an electronics / IT expert, and four scientists who oversee the station’s long-term observatories. Here they all report on their daily work and research at Germany’s southernmost workplace.

Since each team spends only 13.5 months at the station and therefore always new colleagues slip into the blog author role, Nadine Michel and Sebastian Grote (AWI, Communications Dept.) put blog posts online. You will always find the name of the respective author under the entry.
