What food is there in Antarctica?

Answer 1

In Antarctica, people eat foods that are brought onto the continent by their government support organizations. Since the extreme cold environment requires higher caloric intake, more carbohydrates are generally consumed.

Answer 2

There are a variety of foods that people eat in Antarctica. They eat meats, carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables. However, the difference in Antarctica is that there are no fresh fruits or vegetables. Food is canned, dried, or frozen before being imported to research stations there.

Answer 3

All food consumed in Antarctica is imported by the government that supports the research in that location. Fresh produce can be grown, indoors, using hydroponics, and commonly are lettuce, tomatoes, spices and edible marigold. All such grown produce must be consumed on the continent.

Answer 4

The natural food chain for animals that live in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica is short -- there is no animal life on the continent -- and basically involves animals feeding on each other. The Antarctic Krill Euphausia superba, form the base of this food chain.


Humans who live and work temporarily in research stations consume foods that are imported by their governments. Some fresh foods are grown in hydroponic labs on a few research stations, and these scientific experiments produce lettuce, tomatoes, spices and edible flowers.
