[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 249527, member: 6786"] Think of these guys: [url]http://www.antarctica.gov.au/webcams/davis[/url]. I wintered there 36 years ago - coldest it reached was -45C. Nearby is Vostok (meant to be the coldest place on earth). Learned to make igloos and ice caves. Didn't find any gold, though I did detect with home-made PI. Pic of me out hiking on sea-ice out to some ice-bergs. Only -30C that day, but reached -45 many times. You keep your balaclava off your face or it'll take a long time to thaw it off using a Primus cooker at day's end.
