Rob - I too think that working in Antarctica would be an amazing experience! Author "brr" in their writing comes pretty close to the amazement I would feel at the ingenuity, adaptation, and just good engineering (and no small amount of logistics) that keeps people alive there, especially in the "winter" period when they're physically isolated. I'm an avid fan of the brr.fyi blog and read every post as soon as I see then in my RSS feed.
If it weren't for health complications, I'd jump at another chance to go there, Summer or Winter. McMurdo, Amundsen-Scott, or Palmer, any would do. Mostly to see native polar bears and the Aurora Borealis. =)
Upon reading your article, I promptly subscribed to the Brr.fyi blog. Very good reading.
