OMG YES. I spent the winter here in 2012 (6 months of darkness, -100 degree temperatures and no flights in or out) and literally the first thing we do after the last plane leaves is watch all 3 The Things and then the Shining. I also started a wild sourdough culture and name him Kurt Russel

I actually go outside every day, we keep all of our frozen product on a deck behind the station so every time I need frozen berries or whatever I have to step into -40 degree temperatures. I actually ran an marathon here in 2011 and spent about 7 hours outside in -15 degrees. some folks work about 1 mile away from the station and have to walk to and from even in pitch black and -100 degrees but we all have extreme cold weather gear so it's really not so bad.

about -40 F and C at the moment... cold enough to freeze your booger when you walk outside, but definitely sunny

there is not too much eye candy here at the South Pole, but after long enough you develop a syndrome called "Pole Eye" in which case "babes" as you put it who might be a 1 or a 2 back in the real world all of a sudden look like real life 10s... so ask me again in a few months
