Keep in mind - and not meaning to diminish this experience in the slightest - but this is December, i.e. summer. In winter you have the long night - six months of total dark. Temperatures on the Antarctic plateau in winter are so extreme they make Greenland or Siberia look like the Mediterranean. The record low in the Northern Hemisphere is -69.6⁰C at an automated weather station in Greenland. Oymyakon in the Sakha Republic of Russia has recorded -67.7⁰C, the lowest for a permenantly inhabited location (I saw a KZfaq video about life in the Sakha Republic which mentioned temps below -70, but, officially at least, this has never been recorded). At Vostok Station in Antarctica the daily mean in August is -67.9 and the average low for that time of year is -71.5⁰C. Summer temps at Vostok have reached -64. EDIT: I should clarify that the South Pole is much colder than Oymyakon and always has people at it, but none of them are residents of the South Pole. Oymyakon is the coldest place with a permanent population of actual residents, as opposed to the scientists who come and go at the South Pole.
