If I were flown to some remote base I’d have so much fun. I’d ask people about things and be super curious about it. Especially if it’s cold because I love it cold.

I’d talk to everybody and see what interesting ways they adapted to the cold. Like, do they store frozen food outside? How do they defend against polar bears?

Ahh but you see, you'd be there because you were interested in the place, not because you were trying to do some strategy game LARP where you paint your country's colour on the biggest part of the map you can get

I would guess that the polar bears are a good reason not to store food outside. I did actually find a short podcast about freezers in Greenlandic homes from the Ilulisat Icefjord Centre — apparently most homes actually have several indoor freezers to make sure there's enough space to store things for a long time
