SYDNEY (Reuters) - There are times when the sun never sets on Antarctica, but a long-term Australian programme encouraging people to "live the dream" and work in the vast frozen landscape is having to extend a deadline for the project due to a shortage of applicants.
For decades a potential job for adventurous youth seeking to see a part of the world most people never get to, the programme has been going for nearly 100 years since the first Australian explorer, Sir Douglas Mawson, sailed into Commonwealth Bay in East Antarctica in an expedition from 1911 to 1914.
