Winterpeg and Edmonton are colder in the winter, but seriously, who would consider living anywhere in the Antarctic unless they get offered a really high-paying job over there (obviously with excellent health care coverage and completely free-of-cost monthly visit to the shrinks)? Okay, maybe if you cannot find a job anywhere else...
It's not desirable, but if it was either this or a place like Bangkok/Singapore, I would choose the former. D.

F-.
I do not think this place is habitable. But winters are a little bit warmer than I expected and the average summers highs go a few degrees above freezing which was a bit surprising. It is still too cold though for every month of the year.
The most southern parts of Chile and Argentina are not that far away from that area of Antartica and actually have a sub polar oceanic weather climate. Some people don't realize there are areas at a low elevation that have a sub polar climate in South America.

That is interesting that you would pick one of the worst weather climates in the world(Antartica) over some of the best weather climates in the world(Bangkok/Singapore).

F, obviously. Probably the mildest place in Antarctica, though.
I've often wondered about the possibility of permanent human habitation of the Antarctic. They'd have an effectively infinite supply of fresh water (just melt some ice) and very strong winds could be harnessed with wind turbines to supply their energy needs.
