The exterior shots of the base are images of an actual research base in Antarctica, called the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station which is operated by the National Science Foundation. Many different types of scientific research programs are located here including programs focusing on glaciology, geophysics, meteorology, upper atmosphere physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and biomedical studies. Since 2005 the largest research program at the base is the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, which is one of the very few places on Earth where stellar neutrinos can be detected. The base is located directly over the terrestrial South Pole, the original base was built in 1957 by the U.S. Navy engineering corps. The large geodesic dome seen in the exterior shots was built in 1975 and housed many smaller structures, the purpose of the dome being to protect the residents and equipment from the extreme cold and high winds, as temperatures at the South Pole can reach as low as -130 °F (-90 °C). However, the frequent strong winds started burying the dome in snow and ice so it was dismantled in 2010 and replaced with buildings elevated above the ground on steel beams, allowing snow drifts to pass under the buildings.

At 8:33, Ayiana moves her head before the others start lifting her onto the gurney. At this point, she is supposed to still be unconscious.
