Would anyone know if the competition is high to fly in Antarctica?
Well, there are very few folks that fly there, so yes, competition high, very few people have done it or will get to do it. No scheduled airline service... I think the only traffic that flies there is government traffic and VIP charter. You can check out the ANG, I know they bring C-130's on skis down there. In addition, the FAA flies a C601/604 down there occasionally to check the approaches. There is a cool in-cockpit video of them landing on the south pole here:
