environment. We take spills very seriously.
"In order to maintain such high standards, we implement a rigorous preventative
maintenance and lifecycle replacement program," he adds. "Our equipment is routinely
inspected and repaired to operate in such
harsh conditions as Antarctica."
The ground support equipment (GSE)
used by Goodale's team is comparable to
what's used at other airports. However, the
way it is used can sometimes vary. When it
comes to the fueling process itself, the biggest
difference is aircraft come to the fuel pits
to receive fuel instead of a truck or hydrant
parking alongside a plane at the gate.
"Because our runway and ramp are made
of snow, we can't have any permanent
structures. So, we use portable tanks and
4" portable hoses to deliver fuel to aircraft,"
Goodale says. "Our fuel is delivered via a 6"
layflat Angus Chemicoil hose. The hose is

laid over seven-plus miles and delivers an
average of 1.5 million gallons over the course
of a season."
There are other unique elements of working in the southernmost area of the planet,
beyond the cold.
"When I deploy, I can expect the sun to set
for a few hours over the course of a few short
weeks. When the sun does go down, there is
still a bright glow upon the horizon," Goodale
explains. "By the third week in October, it's
24/7 daylight until mid-February."
It takes a specific personality and mental
fortitude to work in Antarctica. During the
peak season, the population at McMurdo station can exceed 1,000 people. But Goodale
says the average number fluctuates between
750 and 850 people. But those people make
the job worth it, he says.
"People ask 'why?'" Goodale says in regard
to working in an extreme climate. "Aside
from the obvious, that it's a unique place to
visit, the biggest reason is the people. I have
had the opportunity to meet and work sideby-side with some amazing people."
