Malaysian scientist braves Antarctica winter for research FMTNews FMTLifestyle
It’s not every day a Malaysian wakes up to see penguins waddling about outside, so Justin Sentian is grateful for the experience.
Justin Sentian, a researcher from Universiti Malaysia Sabah, is currently based in the Professor Julio Escudero Base Station, a research station 13,000km away from Kuala Lumpur. “Any changes here indicate the world is changing, or that there’s something wrong happening at the global scale.” While conditions are relatively tame for now, winter will be coming in May and Sentian expects it to be blisteringly cold.
“Bringing that here from Malaysia is very costly,” he said, adding that he only brought what equipment he could. Sentian is in good company though, with the Chileans having a barbeque every Friday, which helps to keep morale up.
