I'll choose Amundesen-Scott Base because it appears less stable. The difference between its highest average high and record high is greater than that between Darwin's lowest average low and record low.

Darwin sees below 15C pretty much every winter at least once. It's very, very rare for Amundsen Scott to climb above -15C. I say Darwin. I could see a very severe Outback cold wave in July causing a light freeze. VERY unlikely though.

Darwin, Northern Territories Australia going below freezing I think is more likely than for the place in Antarctica to get above freezing. Though neither is likely to occur in my lifetime.

I think Darwin, Australia. Not only it has gotten near 0 °C than Amundsen-Scott, it is also possible to drop below freezing in the tropics at sea level, see Tampico, Mexico https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampico
Also, Darwin is dry in the winter, so it's more likely.
Antarctica at 2800 m, on the other hand, is utterly impossible.

The Australian one. It's record low is 50. I'm sure that's extremely rare, but 50 is closer to freezing than 9 is to melting. An 18 degree difference gives it an edge. It's unlikely but far more possible than Antarctica's chances.

Any reason why you bumped a spam thread from half a year ago, Mr Everderp?
