There are no 'houses' in Antarctica in the classic sense of 'house'. There are dormitories and cafeteria facilities on every scientific base on the continent. Bases also have work areas, and indoor recreational facilities.

NO

Several factors combine to making Antarctica one of the coldest and least hospitable places on the Earth:

  • Unlike the Arctic region, Antarctica is a continent surrounded by an ocean which means that interior areas do not benefit from the moderating influence of water.
  • With 98% of its area covered with snow and ice, the Antarctic continent reflects most of the sun's light rather than absorbing it.
  • The extreme dryness of the air causes any heat that is radiated back into the atmosphere to be lost instead of being absorbed by the water vapor in the atmosphere.
  • During the winter, the size of Antarctica doubles as the surrounding sea water freezes, effectively blocking heat transfer from the warmer surrounding ocean.
  • Antarctica has a higher average elevation than any other continent on Earth which results in even colder temperatures.

No, there are no homes in the familiar, civil sense.

There is housing, where people sleep, in the different scientific stations.
