Can you get a cold in Antarctica?

Answer 1

Yes, you can catch a cold there.

However, once the station closes in preparation for the winter season, and everyone recovers from their colds, no more colds can be caught. It's too cold for the germs to survive.

Answer 2

Yes. the snow and ice reflects more than 90% of the sunlight, meaning you get almost double the exposure to radiation. Also the ozone layer is often thinner there, letting in more dangerous ultraviolet rays.
