According to the National Science Foundation which represents the United States in Antarctica:
In order to work and live in Antarctica temporarily -- up to 12 months -- one must be skilled in either science or support of science, pass rigorous background, physical, dental and mental exams and be willing to be isolated on Antarctica for the winter season.
One can sign up for a full 12 months, or only for the winter season or the summer season, each about six months long.
Other countries may have different conditions and requirements for winter-over employment or assignment.

What does wintering over mean in antarctica?
To winter over in Antarctica means that one lives and works on a research station during the season when people are isolated on the continent. There is no transit to or from the continent, because of sea ice freezes -- doubling the size of Antarctic, and because jet fuel and lubricants freeze during this extreme cold period. This season is winter and begins during February or March and ends between August and October.
