I've gone through previous posts we have at GAW, but my questions remain:

1) Temperatures

I live in a country where up to -20C is normal and around -30C (yes, Celsius not Fahrenheit) a harsh winter. At -25C on the morning, kids get a school-free stay-home day! I know few polar researches and have seen them prepping for Arctic expedition. That is COLD and you protect your face with fur around, and with masks which leave breath free (otherwise you freeze that mask on your skin with vapor from lungs, and are suffocated under the forming ice crust). All photos I see from Antarctica, are... from a warmer place. Look, e.g., at Kerry when he fled after Trump's win: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/john-kerry-lands-antarctica — that's someone at -10 to -12C, no way -40 to -60C! Kerry has to feel cold more acutely than younger ones in the picture, yet he wears no gloves, has left his parka [or short coat or whatever] open, no protection to neck or face. OK, let's adjust: it's 11.11, which corresponds to May in the Northern Hemisphere. And it's dry, so a bit less biting.

Spring, not summer, so temperature has to be at best -15C if not -20C. Feels like -10 to -15, if dry.

Nope, he is at a warmer place!

All the polynyas (open water with floating ice) opening at -20 to -40C??? That's not what you see at those temperatures. -10C is stable ice, passenger cars allowed to travel between islands. -20C, and commercial vehicles get green light, too. Barge companies try to interfere with icebreakers and create polynyas, to keep profit, but between smaller islands ice roads are intact until March, as a rule.

Who is breaking ice in Antarctic polynyas? Some seismic power tearing the crust? Something shooting up from depths? EMP?

2) Why they go there? Where exactly?

Kerry fled to Antarctica, while some others fled to Ukraine. Remember when a bunch of them met SOMEWHERE in Antarctica, in December 2021? Schwab, Lagarde, etc. Again: it can be a meeting place outside of regular sigint surveillance, and valued for that. But hello, SCIF-s at all their lairs are just as protected, aren't they?

Zero of their usual comforts. Can't use their usual private jets. Tons of fanfares each time someone goes. So WHY? WHAT or WHO is there, so they must go, personally?
