Hi Kent,
 
your "antarctic special" has triggered my interest.
do you consider the antarctic temperatures as shown in http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/comp/latest_cmoll.gif
normal or too high for winter?
We've supposed to have autumn or winter in the antarctic. But the synoptic pic shows temperatures up to 5 degrees Celsius in Antarctica now, indicated by yellow colour.
I don't know if this is an anomaly or not, I am not competent to say so.
But I wanted to let you know that I feel like it could be one.
 
The "antarctic composite" http://uwamrc.ssec.wisc.edu/~amrc/GOPHER.GIF also has got "holes at the poles" together with some artifacts. But it could be the satellite orbits.
 
Main page for this stuff is http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/composites.html
 
You probably also know this Base 211-Link: http://www.mailbox.de/~linke/disks/base211/base01en.html
He's added stuff recently, I believe.
Seems like it was indeed warm enough for the creeps to stay the winter
 
About 10.000 tourists a year visit antarctica by now. This should give enough witnesses pro or contra this "secret bases on South Georgia and the Neuschwabenland coast" stuff, because it is there where most people go.
Well, on scheduled trips, and they stay for one night.
 
I made some antarctic links on
