Antarctica

Antarctica doesn't have the resources to provide enough nutrients for trees. Small shrubs thrive there better than trees.

on the ice of course lol they live all around antarctica

People who live and work in Antarctica -- temporarily -- earn money working in support of science, or as scientists.

No, Antarctica is a continent dedicated to peace and science.

More than 80% of the ocean remains unexplored.

One of the biggest challenges of ocean exploration comes down to physics. Dr. Gene Carl Feldman, an oceanographer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, explains that the ocean, at great depths, is characterized by zero visibility, extremely cold temperatures, and crushing amounts of pressure.

“In some ways, it’s a lot easier to send people into space than it is to send people to the bottom of the ocean,” Feldman told Oceana. “The intense pressures in the deep ocean make it an extremely difficult environment to explore.”

They eat what they have around them in their surrondings like wild deer, cow, chicken etc.

Yes we should exploit Antarctica, although many people think that we should conserve Antarctica as it is the last untouched and unpolluted continent, it is an extremely remote continent with no permanent residence. There is no wildlife around the centre of Antarctica therefore meaning we could easily exploit around the centre without effecting wildlife or the environment

Antarctica does not continent any countries. However, many countries have claimed land in Antarctica, although these claims are virtually unrecognized.

In 1908, United Kingdom clamied the British Antarctic Territory, limited to 20°W to 80°W.

In 1923, New Zealand claimed the Ross Dependency, limited to 150°W to 160°E

In 1924, France claimed Adélie Land, limited to 142°2′E to 136°11′E

In 1929, Norway claimed Peter I Island, limited to 68°50′S, 90°35′W

In 1933, Australia claimed Australian Antarctic Territory, limited to 160°E to 142°2′E and 136°11′E to 44°38′E

In 1939, Norway claimed Queen Maud Land, limited to 44°38′E to 20°W

In 1940, Chile claimed Antarctic Chilean Territory, limited to 53°W to 90°W

In 1943, Argentina claimed Argentine Antarctica, limited to 25°W to 74°W

The United States and Russia reserve the right to make claims in the future.

An ice sheet covers about 98% of the continent.

No country, not even Norway, owns any of Antarctica.

From this link, you can review Norway's claims on the continent:

The only mammal that can survive in Antarctica all year is a human mammal.

Antarctica is a fragile environment because it is pristine and mostly free from the effects of humans, unlike most of planet Earth.

The pristine and fragile environment are required for the study of the health of planet Earth, which is the primary use of the continent.

One hundred percent of the population of the Antarctic continent is temporary workers who are supported by their governments to study the health of planet earth. Generally, for each scientist, there are seven workers who support the scientific work.

Antarctica -- all of Planet Earth south of 60 degrees South Latitude -- is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which replaces any national sovereignty.

You can read more, below.

All of planet earth south of the Antarctic Circle experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset. All of planet earth north of the Arctic circle has the same experience.

Depending on where you are, this period may last for one 24-hour period or -- at the poles, for example -- six months.

Both poles experience this phenomenon because the earth is tilted on its axis, and seasonally points toward -- 24 hours of sun, and away -- 24 hours of no sun, from the sun.

You may be thinking of Sir Douglas Mawson, Sir Robert Falcon Scott, Raoul Amundsen, Sir Earnest Shackleton and so forth.

Don't think so... Unless they live in the homes without being taken care of and I still doubt that.

Everyone eats in the same dining hall (sometimes the food is quite decent) in the main building at the center of the town which also houses living quarters, the small general store/video store, the computer lab, barber shop, and offices such as H.R. and Housing. The living quarters are mostly crummy dormatory style with up to four people to a room. Most people work 60 hours a week (6 tens or 5 twelves.) Depending on the season it is 24 hours of daylight or 24 hours of night. There is a two lane manual bowling alley, two main bars, gyms (exersize, weight, and basketball), library, craft room, climbing room, etc. all a little more primitive than you are picturing. And there is a place to rent cross country skis and other fun stuff. As far as how it is; It's either a love/hate feeling that has enough love to draw you back for multiple seasons or it's an inescapable hell prison that causes you to contemplate breaking one of your own bones to get yourself a ticket home.

Since it is cold in antarctica, I would bring things that you don't have to cook, heat up, etc. So that being said you do not want to bring spaghetti if you like eating hot. If you are bringing a mini grill (I have never tried that before) you can make hamburgers, grilled pizza, steak etc. Also if you are bringing a mini grill you can heat things up and cook things without putting them on the grill bars. Just put your meal on the cookie sheet and place it on the grill. Hope this helped!

There is no plant life at the South Pole. The only plant life on Antarctica is around the coastal areas. There are microscopic single cell plants called phytoplankton that live and multiply in water, and mosses, lichens and algae that can live under the snow and ice.
