Allocation of accomodation and workplace

  • Allocation of accomodation and workplace is coordinated by the chief scientist.

  • You may express your wishes for accomodation in the personnel questionnaire. They may be taken into account by the chief scientist who creates a plan of chamber distribution.

  • Helicopter staff and personnel of the German Weather Service also count as scientific staff and is therefore looked after by the chief scientist as well.
    Single chambers have to be saved for the 2 pilots, 2 technicians, 1 meteorologist and 1 weather technician.

  • Single chambers are not envisaged for the other scientific participants except for the chief scientist.

  • In case there is an external observer for diplomatic reasons onboard he has to be taken care of by the chief scientist as well. 

  • Mixed-sex chamber occupancy may be possible upon consultation.

  • The hospital and the isolation unit have to be kept empty for legal reasons.

  • There is no helicopter staff onboard during the transits. However, these cabins should only be accomodated by different people if all other chambers are occupied. The chambers of the German Weather Service are not available eventhough there may be only one member of the German Weather Service onboard.

  • 44 Crew = max.53 expedition participants (incl. 2 German Weather Service & 4 Heliservice)
    43 Crew = max.55 expedition participants (incl. 2 German Weather Service & 4 Heliservice)
