This is an article written by a person who spent a year at a McMurdo station, a US Antarctic base and how he experienced it all.

An entertaining read.

This guide is intended to assist you in your stay at McMurdo Station, the largest of the three American stations. It briefly covers Antarctic culture to provide an overview that may help you adjust to working here. Additionally, much of the information is relevant to South Pole Station, but consult your peers before assuming so.

If you almost die or something, either at a field camp or by industrial havoc in town, people will be quite fascinated. Restrictions on 'complaining' or on 'acting all badass' may be safely discarded, within reason.

Based on that bit there, I just ordered his book.

Funny guy, of course it is alive, there are animals living there.

I don't think "Big Essentially Dead Place" has quite the same ring.

Yes, we know. Everybody knows. The title is a sarcastic one. Thanks for the heads-up though!

There are no animals, their blood would freeze causing instant death.
