It's true humans have been shown to survive amazing windchill extremes. Just look at the guys who made the first successful ascent of Denali in the winter. The bivied for several days in a tiny snow cave during temperatures of -50 to -60 with wind speeds of 100 mph, wrapped in little more than half-frozen down sleeping bags and 60s mountaineering gear (their bivy sack, an old parachute, blew away.) They all survived with moderate frostbite on their fingers and toes, but they survived. Art wrote a great book called Minus 148. Definitely worth a read or seven.
That's the thing. They were able to build a snow cave. If you get caught in a bad storm in Anarctica and you can't build a shelter you may not survive in a tent. But even though the weather is extreme in Anarctica it is I believe predictable.
