Are these sunshine totals accurate? They're very low. Orcadas Base has to be one of the lowest in the world, maybe even the lowest.

Villa Las Estrellas: 605 hours
Orcadas Base: 483 hours
Bellingshausen: 592 hours
Base General Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme : 646 hours
No reason to doubt these values. Truly as depressing as climates get.

Orcadas for the record highs, but all of them are F- from me.

Realistically none of the above but if I had to choose then it has to be Commadante Ferraz because at least it's mild enough that you can survive... can't say the same about places like Vostok Station.

I like the number of days that it snows in Orcadas but overall prefer Bellingshausen.
