New Zealanders celebrating Christmas in Antarctica are enjoyed a mild zero degrees, and a feast of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Senior officer at Scott Base Lieutenant Commander Barry Holmes says everyone gets the day off for a barbeque on the ice, and secret Santa.
Later in the day they've been invited to the American camp.
But Lieutenant Commander Holmes says the biggest treat is the novelty of fresh food.
"Today is exceptionally special and the chefs have been working very hard over the last few days to get things prepared. We've had a few fresh fruit and vegetables sent down. This is a really fantastic spread they put on for us."
