That's got to be the best place in the world, imagine the solitude, the quietness and amazing scenery. Must have been an amazing experience.

I have read Shackleton's book and also one by a member of Scott's expedition. From that I got the sense that it's a place of wind, danger and misery. It's not a quiet stroll after fresh snowfall.

If you haven’t already, have a read of South, by Shackleton. It can be pretty unpleasant and far from quiet.
