> Personally I'd love to go to the Arctic or Antarctic as a civilian as it would be an interesting challenge.
This is actually possible! Friends of friends have done it (with NSF I believe).
Research expeditions to the arctic sometimes take civilians as support (janitors, IT, cooks, medics, etc). It can be a cool way to spend a few months aboard a boat in the arctic.
