Hah!

A shirtsleeves environment under 10 km of hydrostatic head!

Has Kokh heard of "caisson disease" - acute bone necrosis caused by resorption of the calcium carbonate and phosphate of bones if divers work under pressure for too long?

The only way to survive is to build a pressure vessel within the ice, deep enough to avoid radiation but shallow enough to avoid pressure limits - a city-sized submarine.

Methinks Mars will be green well before this gets going!
