Well maybe not all the comforts!
The kitchen has everything ovens, stoves, microwave, frig, freezers, dishes, pots, pans, and so on. It even has running water straight from a glacier stream! No worries, we have a water heater and propane for the stoves so we can get hot water.
Showers- 1 shower, 25 people, you do the math.
Restrooms- Somewhere between Girl Scout camp pit toilets and community event porta-potties. (Closer to the pits.)
Beds- Cots or mats in tents, government issue sleeping bag for me! Private, but not all that warm.
Electricity- YES from generators. No need for night lights though, the sun NEVER goes down.
Phones- I'm told some people have cell phone access and are paying dearly for it!
Internet- YES! Thank You NASA! I should have access whenever I want it!
Land transportation- We all learn how to use quads, but NEVER leave camp alone. The bears are bigger than we are!
Medical- Nurse on staff, nearest hospital 2+ hours by air (if there happens to be a plane on the island), basically; don't get hurt!!!!!!
Entertainment- Whatever DVDs people bring up with them and "educations" from the various research teams.
12 days and counting.
