Starlink was certainly a game changer for life around here. McMurdo is essentially a small town so many different jobs and routines to make everything go. Some stay inside all the time, some have to work outside a lot.
https://brr.fyi/ is a really good blog from a person nearing the end of a year long deployment who writes much more eloquently than I ever could if you want to read more.
Antarctica: A Year on Ice is an enjoyable film documentary from ~10 years ago.
A Big Dead Place by Nicholas Johnson is also worth a read from the early 2000s.

Not directly related to the article, but this documentary about life in Antarctica is truly amazing: http://frozensouth.weebly.com/ (it's called "Antarctica - A Year On Ice")
A documentary that seems like it was made from that book is "Antarctica: A Year on Ice." It was on Netflix but isn't any longer.
