    Only one company can organise trips to the Antarctic interior and they are......can't remember (thought it was Quark but I was wrong). Will check tonight. The American base at the South Pole aren't exactly overly welcoming to visitors so you'll get there, take a few pics and get the hell out of there! Would usually stay in Patriot Hills. Be aware that getting to the South Pole is MASSIVELY expensive!!

    Orders from above! I've no doubt the people on the ground are quite glad to see new faces but the 'official' line is to discourage visits as they can disrupt work and use resources (esp. toilets!). This is why all visits can only be arranged with one company, who whisk people away to Patriot Hills after a brief station visit (for Sth Pole photo op purposes - virtually all visits are fundraising trips etc.)
