...At least three major medical evacuations have been carried out from Antarctic bases in recent years, including an emergency flight for a U.S. doctor at the South Pole who had developed breast cancer. Sanson said the night-flight breakthrough also opens new opportunities for research. "If we look ahead 10 years, it may offer...

Both men have journeyed to the North and South Poles before, and led a record-breaking expedition to the South Pole in 2005 using the Ice Challenger, a six-wheeled scientific support vehicle. ...

... Europe, according to a senior Russian military expert. "A program could be implemented to create orbital ballistic missiles capable of reaching US territory via the South Pole, skirting US air defense bases," said Col. Gen.

(Talk about a bimodal age distribution.) Anybody want to posit that the Southern Water Tribe consisted of multiple bands of about twenty people each, and we only saw one ...

... well as the drift of continents across the Earths surface. The oldest till deposits on Svalbard were probably deposited when Spitsbergen was situated close to the South Pole, some 600 million years (MY) ago, and the red Devonian sandstone of northern Spitsbergen was deposited when Svalbard was close to the Equator, some 350-...

...discover stuff, then coming home again. It makes no more sense to haul a family around on a starship than for Amundsen to take the wife and kids to the South Pole. There was probably some "mission creep" as TNG progressed. They started having some real shoot-em-up space battles and outright wars, which made having kids on board...
