The ship, called the Noosfera, had been waiting for favorable sea conditions before plowing into the icy waters below the southern tip of South America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was late January, and Nolan was headed home after spending three months at Palmer Station, a tiny American research base in Antarctica.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She had been studying the effects of climate change on zooplankton, and, in her spare moments, cheering for her favorite football team, the Buffalo Bills. She wore a beanie with a Bills logo on the front and a blue poof on top when she went out on a boat to collect zooplankton in nets, or hiked the receding glacier behind the station. Her hat alerted two other Bills fans that she was one of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In some ways, she did not behave like a typical Bills fan, causing joyful chaos and destruction to celebrate the team.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-small css-1189og3 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-13ytnnu ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">When Meredith Nolan isn\u2019t studying the effects of climate change on zooplankton, she is rooting on the Buffalo Bills.<\/span><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Meredith Nolan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019ll see if Meredith starts diving through tables,\u201d Ricky Robbins, who was there studying seabirds, said in reference to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/22\/sports\/football\/buffalo-bills-fans-table-slam.html\" title=\"\">a popular activity<\/a> among fans at Bills tailgates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But in one important way, she did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEvery year I get excited,\u201d Nolan said cheerfully in early November. \u201cBut I\u2019m hopeful that this is the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since the 1950s, the National Science Foundation has funded research projects in Antarctica. Palmer Station, built in 1968, is the smallest of its three stations, housing around 40 people in the summer and about 20 in the winter. It is also the warmest, but that still means below-freezing temperatures and snow, even in the summer. Some of those there, like Nolan, are studying the effects of climate change on the environment. For many, sports are a way to stay linked with the outside world, even when connecting with their teams is a challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Until recently, high-speed internet access was limited, when it was available at all. A participant manual from 2018 cautioned: \u201cLarge downloads and streaming media have a negative impact on everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Sports fans, then, would save up their internet rations for game times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2013, Ken Halanych, then a professor at Auburn University, was on a ship when Auburn won a game against its hated rival, the University of Alabama, by returning a missed field goal 109 yards for a touchdown as time expired.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Halanych spent four hours uploading a video so he could see the play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He has been to Antarctica eight times since 2000. In 2004, when Auburn was one of three undefeated teams hoping for a spot in the national championship game, he persuaded the station manager at Palmer Station to let him raise an Auburn flag on the ship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI wrote ESPN trying to connect with them and saying, \u2018Here\u2019s my vote from Antarctica,\u2019\u201d Halanych said. \u201cESPN never responded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Darren Roberts has gone to Antarctica 13 times. He loves the work, though he recognizes that it can be isolating. Roberts isn\u2019t sure he would still be going if his wife, Megan, weren\u2019t part of his research team. Following the Denver Broncos helps him connect with his brother, who is 13 years older.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is really sweet,\u201d Megan Roberts said. \u201cThey all really bond, especially over the Broncos, even when we\u2019re in these crazy remote places. It\u2019s amazing to see. He keeps in touch with his family because of what\u2019s going on with the Broncos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Darren Roberts would follow Broncos games through a Google graphic that showed a little football on a digital field. Its movements corresponded to what was happening in the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But when the Broncos won the Super Bowl in 2016, the couple were on a research ship called the Laurence M. Gould. It was captained by a man named Ernest Stelly, a fan of the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even though the Cowboys weren\u2019t playing, Stelly pulled the vessel close enough to Palmer Station that it could use the station\u2019s internet to pick up a radio broadcast. The cooks whipped up party snacks, and Stelly hosted a Super Bowl party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI remember it was great, like sitting in the dark on the ship listening to the Super Bowl on the bridge,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cAnd it was really actually very special and kind of a unique thing, especially at that time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The United States also operates a base at the South Pole, which is much colder but slightly more populous, and an outpost called McMurdo Station, which is south of New Zealand and can support 1,500 residents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Robbins, who is on the seabirds team with the Robertses, has worked in even more remote locales, which has made it hard for him to follow his favorite teams. He once worked on a small island in Hawaii on which just seven people, including himself, lived. Experiences like that make Antarctica feel \u201cbig city almost,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHaving, like, a galley with chefs and a bedroom and running water and freshwater showers is like, it feels very luxurious,\u201d Robbins said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The seabird group works out of a small building separate from other scientists. Robbins called it \u201cthe birder hut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDarren\u2019s rumor is that we used to be in the big building with an office, but everybody got really sick of smelling penguin poop,\u201d Robbins said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Work got busier toward the end of their stay, which meant it wasn\u2019t as easy to follow the end of football season. All the birds\u2019 eggs were hatching, and the team had to measure their chicks. The researchers tagged some birds, and removed tags from others, sometimes late at night or early in the morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They were out counting penguin colonies and measuring giant petrel chicks when the Broncos lost to the Bills in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nolan was happy with the outcome of that game. Sports are a bonding point between Nolan and her father, Jim. He is extraordinarily proud that his daughter works in Antarctica, and has grown accustomed to explaining zooplankton to others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s kind of the bottom of the food chain,\u201d he tells people. \u201cWithout zooplankton we\u2019d all be in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At home, Meredith lives about 30 minutes away from her parents, as a graduate student at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. They love hearing about her work and receiving pictures of penguins via text message.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cShe\u2019s an amazing kid,\u201d Jim said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They text constantly during games, particularly when Jim isn\u2019t too stressed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In late December, when the Bills played the New York Jets, she was putting krill into bottles to begin an experiment. Jim texted to her that she shouldn\u2019t worry, the game was a blowout. The Bills won, 40-14.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Palmer base now uses the Starlink satellite system for high-speed internet access. In mid-December the satellites began pinging from the United States rather than Chile, which meant YouTube TV was available on the base. Nolan could stream her Bills live.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jim is a Bills fan because he grew up in upstate New York, and Meredith inherited the condition from him. He lived through decades of disappointment, including four consecutive losses in the Super Bowl. His daughter, 24, has seen less of that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cShe\u2019s a very optimistic person, probably more optimistic than I am,\u201d Jim said. \u201cBut sometimes, being a Bills fan, it can be tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Noosfera finally got clearance to sail away on that Sunday evening last month, minutes before the A.F.C. championship game kicked off. Jim tracked the boat on a site called MarineTraffic.com. He doesn\u2019t worry about Meredith too much, but the Drake Passage, an expanse of sea between Palmer Station and Chile, can have 40-foot waves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-13\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After she settled in, Nolan fired up her iPad and logged into YouTube TV. She sent a photo of the setup to her father \u2014 it showed the back of Josh Allen\u2019s head and the score of the game, 27-10, Chiefs. She watched as the Bills attempted a comeback, then lost, 32-29, just one game short of the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was quite a bummer,\u201d Nolan said in a text message as the ship made its way toward the potentially treacherous Drake Passage. She added an emoji of a crying face. \u201cBut still a great season!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
