  • mantis mantis Don't they say that every person generates about 100 watts of body heat so there would have been the equivalent of a 2.5 kilowatt heater in there. I was up there a couple of years ago for a day walk. There was a 2.5 litre softdrink bottle full of water sitting on the table inside, frozen solid !!.

  • madpom madpom Arrived one Friday night from Andersons Memorial in an unexpected blizzard a few years ago - expecting a cold night shivering in all my clothes. Opened the door to be greeted by a wall of heat. It was full moon, midwinter, and 25 people all expecting to do the southern crossing were holed up there. -14 degrees outside, 11 degrees inside. Had to sleep on top of my sleeping bag it was that warm! So it can be heated, if you cram enough people in.
