Too early for that! "The Thing" is traditionally midwinter viewing.

Now I wonder if they watch other Antarctic media. I'd recommend "A Place Further than the Universe" but I have no idea if it's something they'd want to watch.

There are often openings for people with electronics engineering backgrounds for roles supporting science and met, as opposed to comms and base IT. It doesn't hurt to apply.

If you like that kind of thing I can recommend the book Time on Ice: A Winter Voyage to Antarctica - it's about a couple overwintering in Antarctica in their yacht:

Edit: If I remember correctly they also sailed from and back to Sweden to do this...
