OK, cain, let's go through this VERY slowly so that you are very clear. And, for you too Jeebs.
They had to leave just before the heart of the bad weather. It took him six months to get enough money to go back for the dogs. So, when he went back it was NOT THE HEART OF WINTER (that was when they had to leave the dogs).
So, if they had to leave when June was around the corner (the worst weather down there) they went back in about December (the BEST weather) down there.
You forgot that NO ONE WOULD TAKE HIM IN JUNE SINCE THE WEATHER WAS SO BAD!! He had to wait until it was approaching DECEMBER to go back (when the weather was GOOD ENOUGH to go back).
Are you clear now? (June has nothing to do with going back for the dogs.) They went back in about November or December! (When the weather was lovely; got it?)
Jeebs: Don't be so eager to agree! Think things through and don't be so eager to pick on people who have done a great effort!
The whole time the camera was on the dogs (when no one was down there), it seemed pretty bright to me. Not arguing the part when they return for the dogs.
shareI'm assuming that scene where the dogs see the Southern Lights, and Dewey falls down the snow bank takes place in June during the day. It might not, but that explains the most to me about why all the dogs are up and about at that time.
shareDepends what part of June, but one thing, there sure were a lot of clear skies toward the end... how many sunny days per year does the Antarctic get, like six or seven?

Yeah, not only was it not as stormy as it would be in the Antarctic winter, but the sun should never have been high in the sky during most of the time the dogs were there alone, and when they came back for them
shareI just read the same complaint on WiKi from a reviewer that pointed out the same inaccuracy about the film. It does make me laugh a bit.
