White Christmas In Antarctica 84
The idea of a white Christmas may seem magical for many of us, but Science Daily asks you to "spare a thought for a team of scientists forgoing the festive season to take part in a novel campaign being carried out in one of the most inhospitable regions on Earth to support ESA's CryoSat mission." Plenty of people cooped up in the upside-down parts seem to find good ways to amuse themselves; I am especially fond of this introduction to Condition One weather, and Cops McMurdo. If anyone is reading this down there, I hope you're having a nice holiday.
But.. It's summertime in antarctica. (Score:4, Informative)
It's boom town over there right now. The real troopers are the ones who stay on over the winter.

Actually, I'm in the United States military at the moment and we don't call ourselves a "defense force"; we call ourselves the "armed force", which seems, (as you seem to have pointed out) a territorial neutral term.
