When Matty K. Jordan first visited Antarctica in 2014 as a tourist, he thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Instead, it inspired him to pursue a career he never imagined, sparking an obsession that has brought him back for ten more visits.
Much of his time on the frozen continent was spent at New Zealand’s Antarctic research station, Scott Base, on a glaciated volcanic island 3,500 km (2,175 miles) from the nearest city. There, Matty experienced both 24-hour summer daylight and four months of nonstop night as one of the few people to spend a full winter in Antarctica.
