Best Answer

No food crops are grown on Antarctica: it's too cold and 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet. Plus, there is no permanent or indigenous population to grow crops.

What did explorers in the Antarctic eat?

They ate whatever provisions they brought with them. Other than fish, seals, or penguins along the coast, there is little food in the Antarctic. On the Roald Amundsen trek that first reached the South Pole, the explorers ate the sled dogs that they used for dog-power (they pulled the sledges). Another simultaneous attempt by Robert F. Scott ended in tragedy when food and fuel ran out, and all five of the group that reached the Pole died, including Scott.
