6. You'd be surprised

The folks at the Antarctic research station are hard-core. They regularly chip out ice chunks and go swimming in holes they cut through ice shelves. Nuts.

Although it is kind of funny that it looks like they originally mis-spelled antarctica (the tiny "c" jammed in there looks like a post-production edit...)

8. Yep, and people who are experienced with heavy duty winter weather
Don't really react to a day in the twenties with mittens, scarves and hoods on the parkas covering their faces.

Where my mom grew up in northern MN, a day in the twenties was considered Spring!

I don't know where this photo is, but it's in the 30s at many of the bases there.
