Heres what I want to know. Why does nobody ever talk about the Shackleton Ghost and the Erebus crash? My cousin worked as a pilot at McMurdo for a couple decades and used to take a skiff out and visit the local sights. One of the most famous is Shackleton Hut, the last expedition of Ernie Shackleton. Its famously haunted, most of McMurdo and Ross Island know if you visit at night or storms Ernie comes out to entertain you. Even Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay had stories about Ernie waving at them to come inside, and even my cousin used to see lights on at odd hours like people walking to and fro with lanterns and hear the bark of sled dogs in what's left of the stables. 

It's weird, having Ernie invite you inside is a bad of honor in AQ, it means you are a daredevil he'd like to meet, and hes appeared to pilots, divers (cousin included), Sir Hilary, Richard Branson and others. Yet nobody ever talks about how it's so haunted its considered normal up there.

Conversely why did the Russian Oaziz base fail and researchers had to be evacuated repeatedly. And why in 1979 did the Soviets drop light tanks at Oaziz along with mechanized infantry during the worst winter in 20th century AQ history. That's the thing nobody can ever answer me. Why was Oaziz so important? It's a shitty research station in the middle of nowhere.

Where did you find that the Soviet Union sent fighting forces to Antarctica?
