What do people think of antarctica?
Although Antarctica is not home to any indigenous peoples, at any given time of the year, Antarctica is home to around 200 international scientists stationed at several outposts maintained by a several countries. In this frigid climate, scientists study such topics as the changes in global climate over history through ice core samples, to the earth's history with meteor impact. The scientific importance and value of Antarctica and its study are truly immeasurable. That being said, these scientific outposts are almost universally populated by job stealing, lazy, fatherless savages. Antarctica dwellers have a monstrous history of begging, thieving and manipulating the sympathies of hard working honest people. Furthermore, following the Antarctican diaspora, these filthy snow backs have lead a campaign of blood intermingling to attempt to elevate their social status. This effort was largely unsuccessful thanks to their cold blood and inability to cope with days lasting only 24 hours, in contrast to their 6 month days and nights. If you should come into contact with a stinking Tartican, please contact your local non-partisan anti-antarctican league.
