mmissile's quote: "How come nobody really talks about goings-on in Antarctica?"
DUH!
Because it's summertime down there now...
It only gets interesting during their winter time...when it's cold and dangerous...!
(tee-hee-hee)
Only kidding mmissile!
Great question,
I do know the research facilities are pretty neat, lots of ancient ice samples etc.
"We'd" fly over McMurdo Station quite often.
I remember we'd have to declare our "origin of flight" to them as we entered their Air Space
We'd use the call sign: "Crested Rooster" which meant: Don't ask questions, we can go where we "please" kind of thingy, being a D.O.D airborne telemetry platform.
But: sometimes we'd request a Sat-Link back to Sunnyvale (Onizuka) CA because we couldn't reach them via or VHF or Sat-com.
We used to get wicked bad reception down there or "up there" which ever way you look at it.
The aurora australis or the southern lights were dramatically spectacular!

It's all a conspiracy. No one's ever been on the moon & no one's ever been on Antarctica.

Ha Ha!
YEAH!
Right on Budnicks!
Funny thing is:
Right up to the "last minute" the Air Force thought Buzz was going to "take the walk first, but NASA said: WHOA, it's gonna be Neil
(Buzz was Air Force, military, Neil was NASA, never US Military)
All 3 of them were pioneers.
Poor Michael Collins, the Math genius (Air Force) that orbited the moon, he was remembered in the Jethro Tull song: "For Michael Collins, Jeffery and me"

Prayers for Buzz. When asked his thoughts while standing on the moon he replied" I am 250,000 miles from the nearest liquor store."
Google operation high jump, just after ww2 went for 6 months came home after 6 weeks claiming "nothing to see here ,move along "
