This is absolutely the best world to set a post apocalyptic fiction on. Apocalypse aversion fiction is getting less credible

Hah, well thanks for the idea endorsement, I guess!

Turns out Antarctica actually has some very interesting geography if you take the ice away.

That and the winter being totally devoid of daylight, the summer being totally devoid of night... the aurora australis being visible basically all the night time...

Sets up an interesting world, if you crank the temperature up enough.
