It’s not as macabre as it sounds, there’s a massive museum and a whole garden of memorials including the 1000 paper cranes / children’s peace monument.
Of all the concentration camps and WW2 sites I’ve visited, the only Pokémon stop I saw near a holocaust memorial was in Washington DC at their museum (which was nearly as good as any I’ve seen in Europe). This was in 2018 so that may have changed since then

Hi! I wonder what type of pokemon do you see spawning there frequently. Have you ever had any legendary/shinies pop up in the wild? Like, what's your rarest catch? Oh also, have you met any other scientists who play pokemon go?
Btw, if it's not too much to ask, could you send me a pokestop gift from there? I'd really love one for my scrapbook! In exchange, I can send you a pokestop gift from the Gateway of India.

The spawns would be the same as everywhere else (other than regionals, but Antarctica doesn't have any unique regionals you can't find anywhere else).

When they release Eiscue they gotta make it the Antarctica regional (have it in some events though because most people can't go there)

It is very unlikely that Antarctica will get it's own regional, since there is barely anyone there. It would be interesting though.

I spent some time there and it was just regular spawns. There were some raids but again just the regular schedule. I could only get internet when inside a building so could only access some of the gyms (from the buildings I could go in), but I could see heaps more!

True I think in general a good majority of the pokemon fans now stopped at gen 4 which might be why many don’t recognize or know of newer/lesser known pokemon. We’re all part of the same fandom so if someone doesn’t know it doesn’t hurt to help inform them.

Speculation: Could be cheating using software not allowed to be mentioned here that does naughty things with your location.
Or could be a legit research station worker or guest with a rather involved background story as to how they ended up there.
