A survey to measure the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect (SZE) in a complete X-ray flux-limited sample of nearby clusters of galaxies is nearing completion using the OVRO 5.5m radiotelescope. These measurements have been limited by the atmospheric conditions in the Owens Valley, exacerbated by the problems introduced by beam-switching with a single-dish. An expanded sample of luminous nearby clusters will be surveyed using the Cosmic Background Imager, a compact CMB interferometer slated for installation in the Atacama desert of Chile in early 1999. The prospects for conducting these sorts of precision microwave observations from the Antarctic will be discussed, in comparison with existing OVRO data and future Atacama measurements. In particular, the pros and cons of a South Polar program will be examined carefully, particularly given the costs and logistical difficulties associated with Antarctic operations.
