There's something comical about having freezers in Antartica, even when you understand the reason why they are there.

Technically they are warmers :)

The freezers are in the heated main station, however since the "waste heat" from the generators is put to use it's not as inefficient a system as one might assume.

The comical part of the food storage situation is that the station was basically built without anywhere near enough of it. The main "dry store" is in a room on a different level from the kitchen, labelled "Science Storage", and most of the near-to-hand frozen stuff is on an outside loading deck near the galley.
