Don't fancy doing those nudey -70c dashes stunts.

The worrying part is that they do it 'routinely'
.
That said, I've done -40C in swimming trunks between the house and the hot tub, and it was no big deal. Wouldn't want to be out like that for three minutes, though.
Warm is actually probably more dangerous than cold in Antarctica; a co-worker was down there for a few years after he left university, and the only people who didn't come back were the ones who went for a hike in the summer and disappeared.
I guess the Shoggoths got them.
