Knowing a few folks that have been down there, it isn't sub-zero temps all
the time in fact during summer you can get sun burn fairly easily and snow
does melt. I almost had a chance myself to go for a 6 month stint in 1986
for a science TV progam in NZ. My old man had taken a few ships down there
too he was a Master 1 in the merchant navy. But I hear what your saying
perhaps the actual location is different. In anycase I would want allot of hot
coffee and a few good bottles of whisky.
