Orchid plant: no plants allowed unless they're edible.
Firearm(s): no firearms allowed on the continent, except in pursuit of science.
Mountains around the South Pole Station: No mountains there -- it's the flattest horizon on earth.
Conical storm: comes from the wrong direction -- usually originates @ pole
Temperatures: Way, way too warm for pole. Eighties and nineties below zero are more common.
US Marshall Job: not possible. As needed, brought in from Hawaii -- the closest station.
UN Involvement: not possible according to the Antarctic Treaty
Bless Hollywood, however, for having a go at it.
