WATCH: What it's like to take out rubbish in the South Pole
Updated | By Mornings with Mack Rapapali
Have you ever wondered what's it's like to live in the South Pole, where it's dark for half the year? This video might shed some light.
A TikTok user who currently lives in the South Pole shared details about a mundane task most of us do without too much thought - taking out the rubbish bin.
Antarctica's Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is one of the most isolated and coldest places on earth. One of the crew members, Josiah Horneman, who is a traveller and physician assistant, shows step by step, how a simple task such as taking out the rubbish takes more effort in sub-zero temperatures.

He regularly posts videos on TikTok about life in the coldest place on earth and the videos have already been liked over three-million times.
In the video, Horneman shows the temperature gauge which shows -70°F (-56,67°C), then opens a large metal gate while pushing a bin full of rubbish into a cargo-only lift.
He then explains the entire process, from separating rubbish into a recycling landfill to how long it actually takes for them to take it out.
