QF28 SCL to SYD going down south today touching Antarctica. Just out of interest what would their alternates be and how long ETOPS do QF 787s have?

We have 330min EDTO on the 787-9. Closest alternates on that route are SAWH - Malvinas Argentinas and NZCH - Christchurch or NZNV - Invercargill. Nothing much in between. The landing strips in Antarctica aren’t useable.
The view down the Chilean coast and the icebergs are awesome.
