Corrected entry: When arriving the base in Antarctica there is a heavy snowfall. This is unlikely since Antarctica is one of the driest places on earth and has less than 50 mm of snow per year.

Correction: Depends on how far in they actually are. http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/About_Antarctica/Weather/Snow.html. "The distribution of precipitation over Antarctica is very marked, with several metres falling each year near the coast but the interior only getting an annual snowfall of a few centimetres. After the snow has fallen it will be redistributed by the winds, particularly in the coastal areas where the downslope katabic winds can be in excess of 40 kts for long periods of time."
