Who can apply for SANAE?
Currently any South African citizen with the applicable qualifications can apply to go to SANAE. (Those with a sense of adventure, and a yearning to experience the vastness of Antarctica, should definitely do so.) The team is usually made up of a medical doctor, a communications engineer, two diesel mechanics, a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, two scientists and one meteorologist. One of these will be appointed as team leader and another as deputy. The successful applicant should have the necessary tertiary qualification and experience, be able to function well within the close personal confines dictated by circumstances, and be able to function well within the team’s make-up.
