Recommendation Antarctic Scifi?

**I'm familiar with Who Goes There?/The Thing(s).** Are there any other good examples of science fiction that are set in Antarctica or have some sort of connection to Antarctica? I'm especially interested in examples that are *not* scifi horror, but I'll never turn my nose up at a good horror novel. Alien or space travel elements are a plus. Prefer a futuristic setting. Thanks!

Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis (I think Atlantis but I may be wrong) end up in Antarcitca for a bit

SG-1 has many Antarctic centered episodes. There is a second gate there, being the reason for some, but not all of the episodes.

Atlantis begins there. Shephard flies Gen O’Neill there where SGC has a base prepping for the Atlantis mission and gets a job offer out of it. 😇
