Are there natural disasters in Antarctica?

Answer 1

If a natural disaster can be, for example, a hurricane, a flood or earthquake: these are not events that occur on Antarctica.

There are blizzards there, and during them, no people are allowed out of doors. Ninety-eight percent of the continent is covered by an ice sheet, so there are no floods. Antarctica is a quiet zone in earthquake language, but ice quakes to occur due to disintegrating ice shelves.

Human dangers do include extreme cold weather incidents, such as frostbite, dropping into a crevasse from which one cannot be rescued, drowning in liquid sea water fully clothed in extreme cold weather gear, and death by hypothermia.

Answer 2

Quite probably, but with hardly any people there they're hard to notice.

Answer 3

Yes, earthquakes have been known to occur on the continent, but Antarctica is possibly the quietest continent in this regard.

Answer 4

Blizzards, sometimes earthquakes and rarely cyclones

Answer 5

Avalanches, blizzards, high winds, storms
