Nephew is down there right now.
Construction in a place that is under the administration of NZ.
It was only 76 below wind chill the other day..AND IT IS SUMMER down there.
Some years ago,I attended a presentation by a professional astronomer who spent the Summer(Northern Hemisphere Summer) at the South Pole. It was fascinating listening to him describe his experiences and viewing the pictures he took while he was there. He was there when the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hit Jupiter, and he and his colleagues were able to capture the entire event on film, as well as watch the impact marks each come into view.
Pretty amazing stuff.
