People cope with the cold in Antarctica by several methods. The first is knowing when to subject yourself to the cold. In other words, there are certain times such as during storms, when it is best to remain indoors, since conditions are always much worse.
To stay warm though, heavy layers of thick material are an absolute necessity, as well as a shelter that is properly insulated. Most of the research stations there are most likely highly insulated and have proper heating. Its best to limit exposure to the outside as much as possible.
Clothes need to be kept dry and clean to maintain their best insulating qualities. UV (ultra-violet) radiation is fierce during sunlit times, so wearing wrap-round goggles and sun screen on any exposed skin is just as important as keeping warm in the winter.
Food is very important too. Clothing keeps the body heat from escaping, plenty of nutritious food feeds the furnace from the inside and helps generate warmth. This may mean eating more calories than one would normally eat in non-extreme cold weather.
