Why are the buildings above the ground?

>>8699048
I don't. But I remember some anon here who (from his posts) worked for a while at McMurdo. Which I thought was pretty cool.

>>putting the whole building inside the ice sheet that is moving at a rate of 10 meters a year

>>8699563
better question, but with a less important answer: why can't you think?

And columns are the best solution? Doesn't seem like much of a difference

Yes. Look at Halley VI.

I work in a bunker/datacenter disguised as a dentist office doing remote IT shit. Its kind of neat.

>>8699598
Why are data centers disguised?

>>8699600
For us its to impress potential clients that come on tours, but its also to hide the fact that we have like $30 million worth of servers and virtual hosts here.

>>8699598
What kind of stuff do you do there?

>>8699629

That's retarded! What if someone comes in with a dental emergency?

It snows, you don't want to be snowed in.
Your heat will freeze the snow leaving you iced in, that's worse than being snowed in.

Polar bears are afraid of stares but pinguines are not, so when the polar bears attack the pinguines it gives them somewhere to flee to. Sometimes they will just build platforms with stares for pinguines to congregate on.

When I was in the military (USA) I had a buddy who did a tour in Antarctica before coming to our unit (he had the awards for it and all). The stories of degeneracy were outrageous. Rampant day drinking, sex parties, etc. I thought he was full of shit and fucking with us until I got into grad school and met a professor that had done some time there too. He was shocked that I knew some details until I brought up military service. He admitted that the stories were true and that it is an open secret.

When was all of this?

>>8699048
When I was in the Navy, I was attached to a ship that dropped off some sort of US state spooks to an island with caches of weapons, equipment and built a weather station on it.

Didn't ask about it because no one else knew bar the XO and Captain, but I was sharing my quarters with one of them.

Know how I know that you're full of shit? I was a commissioned officer in the Navy. CO has his own cabin and XO has a stateroom that is only shared with VIPS (even on fast attacks this remains true). LARP harder faggot because if you were in the service then you would never be considered VIP.

>inb4 SEAL
Nope they have their own areas.

>>8701846
Stories please

>>8701894
I was an ensign, I only know because I had to drop those faggots off to shore to build the shitty weather station. These faggots never spoke to us other than to ask us to carry shit, specifically the boxes we had to carry ashore.

>>8701900
When i said them, i meant the faggots who were attached to us.

Also did your buddy tell you which station it was? The photo I posted is the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station. Seems like a pretty cool place from what I've seen.

So they don't melt and destabilize the ice and compacted snow.
