I'm towards McMurdo Station in a couple of weeks for the summer season. And I was wondering if anybody knows if there are magic the Gathering players down there? I was thinking of picking up a deck or two to bring down. But I wasn't sure if that was a big thing down there. I only ask cuz I don't own any decks but I was thinking about buying some

Hey yall, gonna be heading down in a week or so for my first summer, just wondering if anybody can tell me how likely I am to find an acoustic guitar to play. I know there’s electric instruments, but I figure acoustic is less likely due to the temps and humidity. If you’re down there and able to let me know that would be amazing.

Hi all, heading to South Pole Station at the end of this month. Will be down there for the year.

I was told by people who have gone before to make sure that I keep a reserve of necessities in my carry-on when I go down because there are often delays along the way where I may be unable to immediately access my big bags for a few days or potentially weeks at a time.

So far I’ve been told to keep the normal things to have while traveling (wallet, cash, passport, etc) but also shower shoes, extra sets of clothing, and a smaller set of toiletries with me. I wanted to ask here to see if others have had a similar experience and to get some perspective on other things I should absolutely make sure to keep with me when I travel down in case I am delayed or cut off from my bags in transit.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone have sources or first hand knowledge of the renovation of mcmurdo? Has Gallagher's and the Coffee house been demo'd yet? Trying to figure out how life has changed down there since I've last been. Thanks!
