Seeing all of the "Southern Lights" (auroras) which are predominately bright green is absolutely breath-taking.

Also, very grateful for the Aeromedical Evacuation teams that are always ready to risk life to save someone in need of emergency medical evacuations out of Antarctica.

I was "home based" at McMurdo for 7mos, '96-'97. My assignment took me all over the continent. BTW, the high temp while I was there was 36°F. at McMurdo (were wore Hawaiian shirts and shorts!!). Truly, an experience of a life time.

Gonna go fly a rocket cargo plane on an ice runway, brb bro.

Planes also fall in holes. During my career in the Air Force I got to go to Antarctica once to fix a c-130 that had slid into a cravace in the ice. Spent almost 4 weeks craning it out and fixing damage to the wingtip and lower fuselage/landing skids. It was beautiful there reminded me a lot of Alaska when I was stationed there. The time crunch is definitely real we had 5 weeks maximum to get it fixed and flyable or it had to be left for the rest of the season because the weather would be to bad to take off but we made it.

Does Amazon Prime delivers there?

9:52 There is a problem, the sign says the the average high temperature in Summer when you said July. In the Southern Hemisphere July is in the Winter.

@ArtofLunatik

exactly, colonizing a planet would be like going back to the cave era for the colonist. It would be very hard living, and the psychological aspect of being so isolated with no ability to leave or have help if anything bad happens is terrifying, would lead to possible cabin fever.

Om Shree wasnt really referring to the moon which is relatively close compared to mars or any other planet. For us to really be able to colonize other worlds the way we imagine we would in scifi stories i believe it calls for some sort of radical technology beyond what we can think of, something that could make space travel convenient for transportation of said mining material your talking about, but in order to do that you would not only be able to land on the planet but fly off from that planet back to earth.: so far all missions to Mars presently concieved are supposed to be one way mission with no chance to return back to earth.

BluE thinking about it makes me think of The Thing though...

There are some countries that have bases on Antarctica. Some of the bases are only occupied in summer. That is because of it being so harsh and challenging there in winter. When the last plane leaves in February (or maybe March) from a base, it would take with those who were only there for the summer. Can imagine what it must be like for those watching, who are staying on for the winter. Many no doubt have cold feet (excuse the pun), like wondering if they are doing the right thing, if they'll manage, thinking 'Oh, oh, what am I letting myself in for?', and maybe 'Wait for me!'.

Interesting Video ...... I was fortunate to have been able to spend a year (Totally Alone) at Commonwealth Bay - just about 100 meters away from Mawson's (Historical) Hut in 1996/97. The nearest people then were at the French Station. During the Winter months, I sometimes was able to talk with other Stations like McMurdo or Australia's Davis Station. The time spent in Antarctica was the most memorable Experience of my Life.

Truly, its a place farther than the universe...

"In July, max temp is -67F." > "On-screen it says Avg. high in summer." Antartica is in the Southern Hemishpere. July is winter my dude.

what a trip! I loved Werner Herzog's documentary about it.

Couldn't imagine what it's like to live in Antarctica considering how cold it's. For me personally, I know I'd struggle to handle it due to how rough the conditions are. The whole point of going to Antarctica is to explore and I can picture saying to myself that I don't want to leave the base. 😂

"Average high July temperature (in summer)" is -67°F". That should probably say Winter. The southern hemisphere experiences summer during Dec-Feb.

And of course there's a plane in the thumbnail Gotta stick it somewhere!
