Curiously I ask. I gather you’ve wintered over?  What science project(s) are you associated with?  Reason being, I miss the land down under.  I went down for Operation Deep Freeze ’83 aboard USCGC Polar Star (WAGB-10).  During that trip we circumnavigated the continent with a State Department delegation on a Antarctic Treaty compliance verification survey.  Although we didn’t winter over we were “Around” for over 3 months instead of the normal 30-45 day support and supply to Palmer, McMurdo, SoPole Station.
