I was hoping these guys were here to save us lol but US military quarantining in Christchurch to go to Antarctica. Surely someone at the top knows what's going on - white hats or black hats?
A South American city may seem to be a more obvious choice for the US to use. But choice of city can depend on what part of Antarctica they're trying to travel to.
NZ is the closest modernized country near Antarctica. Expeditions and missions use Christchurch time, even though standing on the South Pole, you are technically in all time zones at once.
True that. As our PM and corrupt politicians hate Trump so much I wouldn't put it passed him to have sent them through ChCh just to troll them tee hee. The US Ambassador Brown has been getting hammered here as well.

There are five gateway cities to Antarctica. One of them is Christchurch.
