There are permanent, semi-permanent and temporary research stations on Antarctica. The number of permanent stations exceeds 40, on a continent that covers 10% of the surface of Earth.
From the permanent stations, seasonal/ semi-permanent and temporary research stations are established as needed.

∙ 8y agoMost research stations on Antarctica are located along the coasts. This is because access to the continent is available from the sea to these places. Exceptions include the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, supported by the US National Science Foundation, and Vostok Research Station, supported by the Russian Antarctic Programme. Both are significantly inland.

Yes. Some research stations grow edible food in hydroponic labs.

The continent of Antarctica is neither rich nor poor. About thirty countries maintain some seventy research stations, with an approximate scientific population of 4,000 in summer and 1,000 in winter.
What has been done to reduce rubbish on Antarctica?
Different research stations accommodate waste in different ways. Some stations burn combustible rubbish and then load all other waste on ships to be exported to the home country.

Food is shipped to the continent either by ship or by airplane. Some research stations grow consumables -- lettuce, tomatoes and spices -- in hydroponic systems.
