i noticed a couple weeks back that one of my customers was wearing a very official looking antarctica winter coat. didn't ask about it. couple days ago he was back in, and i asked him about it. dude has been down there 3 times, has been at mcmurdo, and his actually gone down to the pole. he's goin back in august. said it's fuckin awesome down there, and he'd rather be there in -40 than up here in cleveland winter. said it's very dry and not as cold as you'd think, and that the air was perfectly clean. said if i [or anyone] has the chance to go there, definitely do it. i briefly brought up some of the admiral byrd stuff, and the alleged openings at the poles. he smiled as if he's heard a bunch of that, but i didn't get any sort of psychic ping that he's directly seen anything like that. i'm guessin people directly involved in that wouldn't be overtly wearing that coat and talking about it in public.
