...base, before bursting out along the rugged, hilly course. Up and down three quarters of a mile of glacier - twice - and looping through a further three Antarctic research stations, the 145 finishers race in hats, gloves, fleece and windbreakers. In fact, on race day in late February, it's warm enough to be snowing - this is, after all, the end of the Antarctic summer.

By the end of the series, however, expect Haruko to happily abandon the life of a temp for the warm, sticky familial embrace of the company...
