Abstract

Astronomy in Antarctica is largely carried out in winter, and so winterover scientists are required to run the instruments. A winterover appointment is a unique opportunity for a scientist, but brings challenges for both the scientist and the larger instrument team. We give a brief review of how winterovers work and their experiences. Although recent projects have required less support from winterover scientists, we believe that they will be a feature of Antarctic astronomy and astrophysics into the future.
