The 'Furious 50's" westerly wind flow would mean that there is nowhere to hide here.

Which would be the worst? I can't think of anywhere that comes close outside of polar latitudes.

D. No variation, no sunshine. For that far south has a relatively low average temperature and a record low.

I give it a C for being boring. I'd enjoy the refreshingly cold temperatures and would take it over a tropical climate, but I would prefer more variation.

F+: winter all year round ( I'm betting there's some fierce windchill ), but temperatures not as extreme as Antarctica's winter all year round. I wonder what the percipitation is like.

Precipitation is probably pretty substantial. The island is covered by a glacier. I'd love to live there for a year or two though.
