by Four women have been selected to run the world's most remote post office and count penguins in Antarctica.
Clare Ballantyne, Mairi Hilton, Natalie Corbett and Lucy Bruzzone beat a record number of applicants to become the team responsible for managing historic site Port Lockroy, on Goudier Island.
The team will travel 9,000 miles from the UK to reopen the bay for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic.
They will spend five months without running water or a flushing toilet.
As well as dealing with sub-zero temperatures and almost constant daylight, the women will share the island with a colony of gentoo penguins, which Ms Hilton will be in charge of monitoring.
