They survive by living in specially designed housing structures and wearing specialised clothing. Also because humans are warm blooded and lose heat very quickly in freezing temperatures, they have to eat a diet extreamely high in calories to give their bodies enough energy to keep warm.

Once he was safely en route, Amundsen was not shy about sending word that he was bound for the South Pole. He wanted to be part of the team that was first to set foot in this geography, and he was successful in December 2010.
