Dale Ellis will be one of only five people living and working on a remote Antarctic island.
A woman is swapping life in West Yorkshire to spend five months living among penguins while running arguably the world's most remote gift shop.
Ms Ellis, from Leeds, said although there was no running water or flushing toilet, the base has Yorkshire Tea so she could still be a "northerner in the southernmost part of the world". During their stay, the team will play host to tourists from passing cruise ships as well as keeping an eye on the island's population of about 1,000 penguins.
"We also need to make sure the visitors to the island from the ships aren't disturbing the penguins and are respectful of their space."
