The air in Antarctica is the same as air all over the world, except that it contains no particulate.
This means that your ability to judge distances is always 'fooled': objects in the distance are much farther away than you think they are. This is because you've learned to judge distances with particulate in the air, so in an environment without particulate, you need to learn to judge distances all over again.
It's also very cold air. Usually when walking around it's a good idea to wear a balaclava over your mouth and nose, to warm the air a little before you take it into your lungs.
