Just visiting Antarctica, even as a tourist is something few people have the means, or the luck, to achieve. Those who work there during the summer season are even rarer, most of these hundreds of workers leave at the end of the summer season and only some special bases remain operational twelve months a year and this means that a small handful of hardy people must live and work through an Antarctic winter. One such base is the British Antarctic Survey’s Halley VI Station.

This presentation, worth 3 CEU Credits, will explore how to meet the circadian needs of humans in completely artificial environments when they are sharing space with colleagues on different work/relax shift patterns.

Martin Valentine was responsible for the lighting design of the inside and outside areas of this space and will share his experience with the audience.
