I can second Big Dead Place. It's an entertaining and slightly cynical take on the Antarctic, including such details as the head of an American base personally removing the "Made in China" stickers from the souvenirs in the gift shop, and a description of how an item brought inside from the outdoors radiates cold like a campfire radiates heat.

100%. I would describe the subject matter as "dysfunctional office politics in Antarctica", which doesn't sound fascinating but it really is!
