Too cold in winter At Kohnen Station, researchers are only active in the Antarctic summer – unlike other stations. Ice cores are gathered from November to early February; for the remainder of the year, the inland ice plateau is simply too cold. [...] To keep Kohnen Station running smoothly, convoys of up to six caterpillar-track vehicles – called Traverses – from the Neumayer-Station III pay regular3 resupply visits. The vehicles normally haul entire containers behind them and take roughly ten days to completed the arduous journey across the ice. When people or ice cores need to be transported, the station can also be reached by planes equipped with snow skids, like the Polar 5 and Polar 6.

Some of the red in the 'bloodbath' image will be off these drums (from the aerosoft link) and the rest spillage.
CynConcepts was right about 'red diesel' as the barrels in the image are indeed red diesel.

Joke aside who knows what it is; a weather reporting installation, a satellite tracking or research facility.
