You say a south pole colony would be hard enough as though we don't have one. We have a south pole colony [0], and there are a half dozen multi-million dollar experiments there that must be manned year round.

I believe under discussion is a self-sustaining colony. The south pole runs on imports.

We could do that too, we just don't have sufficient reason to.
