Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone (the comedy podcast) had scientist Ralph Harvey on to talk about collecting meteorites in Antarctica in episode 208. He made the point that any rock you find out there lying on top of the ice is probably a meteorite and there are scientists out searching for meteorites that have collected in water channels formed from melting ice in the warmer seasons.

Well, the fact you were there indicates there was at least one large animal in Antartica.

I think this comment wins today. But could sled dogs have left "signs of their presence" that would remain for a long time?

There have not been any dogs in Antarctica since 1994, so that would have to be a really long time.

Good: dogs have no business being in Antarctica. Usually, they turn out to be dangerous alien shape-shifters.

Except in that movie "The Thing".
