No, if you what you mean "is electricity transmitted from Antarctica to other continents?" There are several scientific research outposts in Antarctica, all of which make their own electricity using generators run by diesel engines. Of course, the diesel fuel is imported. The transportation factor makes this some of the most expensive electricity in the world.

Your writer spent the year 1963 at South Pole Station doing auroral research and remembers very well when our generators stopped because ice had plugged the fuel lines. We were grateful when our technicians fixed the problem after several hours of our being in the dark and cold.

An electric current is created when a magnet is spun rapidly inside a coil of wire. A turbine (usually powered by water or wind) spins a magnet inside a coil. This action induces an electric current in the coil that can be used to power a light bulb. or what ever you need to power
