I'm not sure which clients would indicate they were browsing from Antarctica.
All the British stations use a satellite link to the British Antarctic Survey headquarters in Cambridge, UK. The link to the Antarctic is transparent to the outside world so all browsing down on the stations (and ships) appears to come from a Cambridge IP address. I'm sure many of the other Antarctic stations work the same way.
The VoIP phone system works the same way so you can ring the station using a "local" Cambridge number. This often lead to strange conversations when people dialled the wrong number and found out they had accidentally phoned the Antarctic.
That is an interesting issue, and one I've never considered before cause I just took the data from MaxMind for granted.
I work for Mozilla crunching numbers. There isn't any way I could share any IP addresses of course. If you pull down the data from MaxMind and do a search for AQ, you'll see a set of IP address ranges that are recorded as being located in Antarctica. We get a small amount of traffic from IP addresses in those ranges.
