The 15-member winter population of Antarctica's Scott Base - 13 New Zealanders, an Australian and an Irishman - will have the opportunity to watch all 48 matches of the World Cup on television.
Tournament officials said Thursday that for the first time, a live feed of the matches will be made available free to the frozen continent. Winter staff are usually stranded in Antarctica from February until the end of October.
Scott Base official Mike Mahon said "our friends" at the nearby U.S. McMurdo Station might also join them to watch the matches. New Zealand opens the World Cup against Tonga on September 9.
