This is the world's loneliest cash machine - but where can it be found?

Antarctica doesn't have much in the way of people but the up to one thousand of them who spend time at the McMurray Station science base do need cash from time to time.

For such occasions Wells Fargo Bank installed what could be the world's loneliest cash machine.

Actually there are two of them but one is only there to be cannibalised for parts when repairs are needed.

As an ATM technician only comes once every two years there are people at the base who are trained to handle general fixes.

Notably the technicians dispatched to Antarctica reportedly undergo extensive psychological testing and extreme environment training to make sure they can cope with an extended stay should they get stranded there.
