Cousteau went to Deception Bay, what, 40 years ago, I think one of his sons died shooting some underwater footage there. Regardless, they filmed the cemetery left by (I think it was) the Chileans, who’d claimed the area despite the UN agreement about Antarctica, started to colonize it, then there was a little volcanic gas episode, a bunch of the colonists died, and they just packed up and got out, leaving the structures behind, the only real ghost town on the continent.
