There's a fascinating documentary by Werner Herzog that involves McMurdo, called Encounters at the End of the World. I would suggest watching it if you're interested in the station. It's interesting how wide of a variety of scientists end up at the station, and how they choose to spend such a long time isolated from the rest of the world.

If you're not a Herzog fan, just always be mindful that his "documentaries" are rife with fiction. He makes these kind of collages of truth and imagination that seek to uncover a deeper kind of reality. Don't watch Encounters expecting to educated about McMurdo.
