Cyprien Verseux is a glaciologist and astrobiologist, currently working on the most remote scientific base in the world: Concordia Station in Antarctica. Even the International Space Station, 400km above the Earth, is closer to civilization than this place, deep in the icy wastes of our most isolated and inhospitable continent.

When not busy doing research about climate in eras past, Cyprien keeps a blog to share his experience of living in this extreme environment
Just for fun, Cyprien decided to go outside and have a go at ‘cooking,’ taking photos of different kinds of foods in the deep freeze
Of course, it was just a game, but the gravity-defying pictures vividly illustrate the absolute intensity of the cold down there in Antarctica
“It is in the coldest area on Earth, with temperatures reaching below -80°C in winter,” Cyprien told Bored Panda
“We saw the Sun again in August after 3 months without it ever passing the horizon. The air is extremely dry and poor in oxygen”
“We run out of fresh food early in the winter (as we have no resupply from early February to early November), so we eat mostly frozen food”
“In spite of being in an inhospitable desert, Concordia is highly attractive to researchers from different fields such as astronomy and human physiology”
“We are using it to study human adaptation to what is very similar to future conditions of a Moon or Mars base”
