I think it would be really cool to be involved in a project at the North or South Pole as so few people get to experience being on the very top or bottom of the world. There a photo series from Michal Krzysztofowicz where he took a photo every day for the year he was based at the Halley research Station in Antarctica and some of the photos are really amazing:
I’d like to go to Fukushima and Three Mile Island and maybe the Idaho research reactor, plus anywhere that’s had some interesting nuclear activity like the natural reactor in Africa. A trip to the newly built waste storage facility underground in Scandinavia would be great too
Antarctica — there are particle physics experiments there using balloons in the polar vortex winds and photon detectors in the ice sheet, to study ultra-high energy neutrinos. I like the idea of being that isolated, and it’s one of only two continents left to visit (and I have plans for Africa). My partner and kids might not be so keen! Might be possible to do some climbing and kite-sledding while there, although my understanding is that the mountainous bit are about 1000 km away…
