WC's most isolated fans!
Die-hard Australian football fans will tune into the World Cup from one of the harshest locations on the planet -- the icy wastes of Antarctica.
About a dozen supporters, some in Socceroos shirts, will gather at remote and wind-swept Casey Station to hear Internet-streamed radio commentary over the common room's speakers when the event starts on Friday.
The fans, mainly maintenance crew who keep the station running over the harsh Antarctic winter, are about 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) from the nearest humans, at other science bases.
They qualify as among the World Cup's most isolated followers, along with Aborigines who will watch by cable TV from Australia's Kakadu National Park, setting for the famous Crocodile Dundee film.
