Life onboard RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer

Bunk (NBP)
Mess Hall (NBP)
Living arrangements on the Nathaniel B. Palmer (NBP) are comfortable, and consist of two bunks, a head and a shower. All cabins are equipped with a TV/VCR, stereo, telephone and a LAN jack for connection to the network. This network access includes the ability to connect to the ship's primary data acquisition computer system for viewing and logging data. With the exception of the Chief Scientist cabin on the 03, most grantee and all RPSC berthing is on the 01 Deck, which is on the same level as the Sauna and Gym. Laundry facilities are provided on each level (Source: www.usap.gov). 

Lounge (NBP) 

Workout Area (NBP)
The Lounge is open 24 hours a day for everyone's use and is stocked with more than 150 movies and books but who's got the time to watch movies on board of a research vessel?

The Workout Room is equipped for both weight and endurance training as if the  hydrocasts are not enough! A universal weight machine, treadmill, rowing machine and exercise bike occupy the weight room for all those who want to stay 'active' and 'fit'.
