    If my suit is ripped and the freezing air fricks my heart or I have a broken leg, or just sprained my ankle, and no radio, will I die?

    About the best I can think of is accounts of the Fram in its semi-permanent residence as north pole pack ice took it almost to the geographical north pole. The semi-permanent residents of the South Pole Station are a surprisingly hippie bunch of people, and those of the ISS even better in the sense that almost all of them are very highly informed.

      It doesn't have to be somewhere constantly occupied but for years or months on end.

    I don't think I could call the ISS or the South Pole Station a permanent residence, sure they are permanently occupied but they are no ones permanent residence. Small boats on the other hand are the permanent residence for many and for some of them that means sailing through hurricanes and south of the three big capes where you have the convergence of three ocean which produce waves which put those made by hurricanes to shame. Picrel is Robin Knox-Johnston who won the first single handed nonstop and unassisted so circumnavigation, he spend 312 days isolated on his little 32 foot boat with nothing but the ocean and its creatures to keep him company.

    A Voyage for Madmen is a good intro, covers that race and the contestants most of whom wrote books about the experience including Bernard Moitessier who could of won but decided to keep sailing instead of returning to his starting port to claim the prize. There are loads of books out there by these people and those like them. Moitessier's book about it, The Long Way is quite good.

      It all depends on location. Some have to keep on the move, some are more grounded.

    Big Dead Place by Nicholas Johnson discusses the day-to-day of living at McMurdo Station. The big takeaway from his book is that people only live in the places due to a massive government-sponsored bureaucracy

    /pol/tard here, and this is a completely original conspiracy theory:
    I do not believe that we have ever been to the (actually) south pole.

    On the continent? Sure.
    In the interior? Sure.
    But I doubt anyone has been. Within 500 miles of the actual, geographic pole.
