She worked with three other women at the ­historic former whaling station which also has a post office and museum.

The team, who had no running water, flushing loo or wifi, greeted up to 140 cruise ship passengers every day.

Retail worker Natalie, from Hants, said: “As a natural introvert, being stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere is absolutely paradise.

“There was so much snow for miles. Every day was just incredible."

She added: "I remember arriving and there was just so much snow.

"One of the cruise ship teams dug steps from the landing site going up maybe four metres to the top of the snow, just so that we could get on to the island.

"There were no moments when I kind of stood back and was like 'Oh God, this is awful, what am I doing here?'. Every day was just incredible."
