The 2017 novel South Pole Station by Ashley Shelby is set at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station of 2002-2003, prior to the opening of the new facility. The 2019 film Where'd You Go, Bernadette features the station prominently and includes scenes of its construction at the closing credits, although the actual station depicted in the film is ...
A U.S. Navy R4D-5L was the first aircraft to land at the South Pole, 31 October 1956 for Operation Deep Freeze II Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station. The ceremonial pole and flags can be seen in the background, slightly to the left of center, below the tracks behind the buildings. The actual geographic pole is a few more meters to the left.
The United States maintains the southernmost base, Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, and the largest base and research station in Antarctica, McMurdo Station. The second-southernmost base is the Chinese Kunlun Station at 80°25′2″S during the summer season, and the Russian Vostok Station at 78°27′50″S during the winter season.
As the average lifetime of a tau is 2.9 × 10 −13 s, a tau traveling at near the speed of light would require 20 TeV of energy for every meter traveled. [16] Realistically, an experimenter would need more space than just one DOM to the next to distinguish two cascades, so double bang searches are centered at PeV scale energies.
The 300 Club is a small number of individuals who have endured a temperature difference of 300 °F (167 °C) within minutes. The group originated at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica and has since been established in North America.
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10-metre (390 in) diameter telescope located at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica.The telescope is designed for observations in the microwave, millimeter-wave, and submillimeter-wave regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, with the particular design goal of measuring the faint, diffuse emission from the cosmic microwave background (CMB).

Kunlun Station (simplified Chinese: 昆仑站; traditional Chinese: 崑崙站; pinyin: Kūnlún Zhàn) is the southernmost of five Chinese research stations in Antarctica. When it is occupied during the summer, it is the second-southernmost research base in Antarctica , behind only the American Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station at the ...
Regular, continuous thermometer readings (as distinct from ice cores) for the interior of Antarctica really only begin in the 1980s, when the climate had already mellowed a bit from the cold early 20th century, so it's misleading to compare the temperature records of Scott and Amundsen with "normal" values for the same months from let's say ...
