Airbnb is offering a handful of people concerned
about the environment a chance to participate
in scientific research on how to help preserve it
during an all-expense paid trip to Antarctica.
The Antarctic Sabbatical , as the travel
company is dubbing it, will give five people the
opportunity to study how widely micro plastics
have infiltrated the region. Over a month’s time
in December, they’ll be trained in lab work in
Chile, collect snow samples in Antarctica, climb
key glaciers and even visit the South Pole.
