Code EXT. ANTARCTIC TUNDRA - OUTSIDE: DAY (TIME: NIGHT)
The cold wind blows the falling snow around Antarctic dunes.
The light outside looks like it's plain light out in noon,
even though it is night. Such is living at the southern ice
cap. |

Your first action block not only ends in an orphan but it is also overwritten. Film is a visual medium. You don't need to tell us it's cold when it is set in the antarctic and snow is falling. It's a given.
Wind blows falling snow over Antarctic dunes.
Also, why tell us what something looks like, when we can see what it looks like?
I think the best way to get this message across without telling us in the script and it being impossible to visualise, would be to write it in a SUPER under your header. So in your header, have DAY, then use a SUPER to indicate it is 2100 hours or whatever.
