Of course, there are some other bases down there.

The polar region has provided for a fascinating horror story setting.
"A group of scientific researchers, isolated in Antarctica by the nearly-ended winter, discover an alien spaceship buried in the ice, where it crashed twenty million years before."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Goes_There#Plot_summary 1938 by John_W._Campbell

The 1951 movie set the story in the northern polar region.
"A United States Air Force crew is dispatched by General Fogerty from Anchorage, Alaska at the request of Dr. Carrington, the chief scientist of a North Polescientific outpost. They have evidence that an unknown flying craft crashed nearby, so Reporter Ned Scott tags along for the story."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_from_Another_World#Plot_summary

Then John_Carpenter reset the story back to the southern polar region.
"A Norwegian helicopter with two Norwegians aboard pursue an Alaskan Malamute to an American Antarctic research station." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(1982_film)#Plot

The prequel starts a few days before the events in the 1982 movie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(2011_film)#Plot
Both movies work well together. For those that saw the 1982 movie first, they get to see what unfolded a few days earlier. For those that saw the 2011 movie first, they then get to see the horror story continue.
