Supposedly, it would be difficult to set up for space exploration there given the Americans are [apparently, allegedly, rumoured to be] using it as a covert military missile silo[0].

This is a great travelogue. I've always wanted to visit Antartica, and now I have a reason to. (On of my HS teachers spent a summer at Scott Base, the NZ one near McMurdo; I didn't realise they are in walking/skiing distance).

Somewhat north of that location: Project Iceworm and Camp Century.
