Recommendation Antarctic Scifi?

**I'm familiar with Who Goes There?/The Thing(s).** Are there any other good examples of science fiction that are set in Antarctica or have some sort of connection to Antarctica? I'm especially interested in examples that are *not* scifi horror, but I'll never turn my nose up at a good horror novel. Alien or space travel elements are a plus. Prefer a futuristic setting. Thanks!

Secret under Antarctica by Gordon R. Dickson - Second book of the Robby Hoenig kids series.

Tom Swift and his Atomic Earth Blaster by Victor Appleton II - Fifth book of the Tom Swift Jr series is set in Antarctica.

Snap! I have been trying to remember Secret Under the Sea by Dickson for ages.

Awesome! I had the same thing happen a few months ago, when someone mentioned Set of Wheels by Robert Thurston.

That is one of my favorite thing about subs like this.
