Unfortunately, the options are scarce. No web site is available to find the best accommodation for your needs. At least for us, it seems that the first choice is to sleep in containers.
You have the Novo Air Base way, where we were eight in a container, using our own sleeping bags on very soft mattresses.
The Princess Elisabeth station have rooms inside but now they renovate some parts and make new rooms. Consequently, we were put in containers, but they were much nicer, with good beds and clean sheets.

And the interior
It was quite comfortable but maybe on our way back we would be able to test the new rooms.
The second way is to sleep in tents. It may seem a bit stressing to sleep on ice in Antarctica with potentially strong winds and -10°C at night.
However, if things are done in the right way, it is not too bad. Building the tent could first be a challenge if the wind is blowing strongly. You must then have good isolation from the cold ground and from the wind.
The entrance of the tent should be opposite to main wind directions. You should also put snow on the sides of the tent to avoid snow drifting below the tent.
Our tents at the first field camp
The soil isolation is achieved using a first mattress with aluminum coating and then a more classical inflating mattress.
Finally, the sleeping bag must be warm enough, guaranteed to -20°C for instance. It is sometimes a bit hard to get in the sleeping bag in the night but it is much warmer in the morning when the sun has warm up the tent.
Then, we can have breakfast and have a hot drink … in the container that we use for the kitchen.

What are the dimensions/weight if the snow melter and how much power does it require?
Alex, I don’t think I have ever heard a better way of saying this is the way it works in my head but it does have a very good effect in my brain as a person who has a very good sense and is able and willing and willing and willing and I am not going anywhere with this person I just want him and him and him together to get a good relationship together I just don’t know what the way that would work out but it is the best thing that we could be doing and we would love to have a family together and we could have a sleepover
