Sleeping accomodations leave something to be desired. The building that I am staying in has 9 very small cubicles that contain a twin size bed, metal closet, very small wooden desk and chair and about 36 x 48 inches of floor space. The window is covered with a dark curtain to keep out the light and the door is a sliding door the width of the room. Bathroom facilities are in a separate building about 1 block away from the dorm. Since it would be difficult to wake and put on all the polar gear to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, people use chamber pots in their room and empty them in the bathroom the next day.
Chamber pots consist of everything from small pots with lids to large metal cans.
The building housing bathroom facilities has two separates rooms, Men and Women. I assume they are relatively the same inside. Cubby holes line one wall and people store their soap, shampoo and other personal grooming items. A notice on the wall instructs us to take two 2 minute showers each week. We were shown a film about showering.
