In the Antarctic Dome Fuji base in the ice and snow, not even living things, not even bacteria, can survive.
Several observation team members live there, and Nishimura Jun's job is to cook for the team members every day.
Occasionally using some luxurious ingredients and putting in a little effort to make delicious meals, and seeing everyone's happy expressions eating, really makes Nishimura happy more than anything else.
In distant Japan, Nishimura has a wife, eight-year-old daughter and a newborn son at home.
When I suddenly think of my family, I feel the urge to cry.
It has been a year and a half since I arrived in a cold place 14,000 kilometers away from my family, and work still has to continue.
The observation team members worked hard in Antarctica and established an irreplaceable bond with each other.
On days when there is laughter, sadness, joy and vitality, delicious food can always bring energy.
In an extremely cold place, cooking brings warmth to the soul.
