My parents were in Alaska not long after that--my Dad was a pilot--but I never heard of anything this bad--
--- Quote ---And it was summer so it never really got that cold, just down to minus 20F when the sun was close to the horizon. In the air it got down to something like minus 70F.

I might have to reevaluate my longing to see Antarctica now... :js:

Well I can't speak of Antartica.
But I lived 25 years in Alaska, the coldest it ever got for me was outside of Fairbanks where (just temperature no wind chill factor or aything) was 62 below zero..
But it was by far the coldest winter I had ever had, with what seemed like a month of low temperatrues that were 40 beow and worse.
Needless to say I am sure 9 months later there were probably many new borns entering the world.
I have heard from Russians that I knew growing up that Siberia could get much, much colder even then that (Yikes). I can't imagine what part sof Antartica would reach.
GMAN when you say it was summer, was that Western Hemispere Summer? Because if so then that should be the colder part of the year for the sputhern Hemisphere. Just curious, becuase I would think it could get significantly colder then 70 below.

I'm not sure what's meant by that. Argentina lumps Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego), the offshore islands and the Antarctic station all into one province. Unless they arranged a government plane, there's only one commercial camp: ANI (here's their base in the Patriot Hills), which is owned by ALE (here's a charter flight list for 2006-2007). ANI/ALE only flies out of Punta Arenas, which is a little more confusing; maybe they didn't leave Ushuaia at all.

There are weekly flights and occasional boat trips into King George Island. It is at the 60th parellel, which some people consider to be Antarctica and others not, which could explain why CBS is hedging on that point. You can find out about the flights from a link on the Ushuaia website.

I found a couple of official sites with street maps and photos--the city government website and E-Ushuaia--but both are in Spanish. Ushuaia seems to a popular starting point for ship tourism; the flights I've found seem to be mostly "fly-overs." The past few weeks I've been checking polar sites like 70 South and the Antarctic Sun for news, but no luck; you'd think if the circus came to town :ele: somebody would have noticed.

And here is a good Ushuaia site .
And I know what you mean about the circus--I've read more Antarctica blogs looking for info than I'll ever want to count!
