This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Can I do it for free?
Maybe. But wouldn't you rather be paid if you have to shit in an outhouse while endlessly smelling penguin shit for five months while you deal with a bunch of idiot tourists who think a cruise to Antarctica is a good idea?
Nah, I do it for the love of the game. No need to sully it with greed.
7 months is a long time without any income though.
Where are you gonna spend your income in Antarctica anyway? I wouldn't mind this. I worked on a cruise ship and, while I did get paid every week, most of the time was out at sea and since all the restaurants and shit on the ship were free to me, I wasn't spending a dime until my contract was up and I went home.
You would likely still have to pay rent for your home that you are leaving.
Respect.
