Antarctica

There are no countries on the Antarctic continent. Therefore, there are no native languages or indigenous populations. Scientists from all over the world work there temporarily, and speak the languages of their home countries.

Most science research on the continent is formalized in English and some in French. Governments representing 80% of the earth's population conduct science on Antarctica, and of course, conduct this research in their own language.

The continent is preserved for science under the directives of The Antarctic Treaty. For the purposes of sharing scientific data, English is a standard with French used when necessary.
Antarctica is not a country, and therefore has no official 'language'.

The continent is dedicated to the scientific health of planet Earth. The language of science is generally English, with a secondary option of French.

All scientists and workers temporarily located in research stations usually speak the language of the nation-state that supports the station.
People who live and work on Antarctica temporarily, speak the native language of the country that has hired them.
Antarctica doesn't have a major language. Each group of scientists speak the language of their country.
There are no "Antarctic people." The only people who live on Antarctica are scientists, military, and support personnel who are rotated in and out for periods of a few months to a few years at a time.
The Antarctic Treaty was signed by governments representing about 80% of the earth's population.

Scientific stations funded by these governments speak their native languages.

they look at ice and look at the past climates. they study astronomy, meteorology, biology and earth sciences. they can also look at wildlife and what we can do to preserve it.

Another Answer

Scientists working in Antarctica study the health of planet earth.

More than 2000 years ago, Greek writers described a large mass of land in the south of the world. Even though they had never seen it, they believed it must exist so that it could 'balance' the land they knew about in the northern half of the world. They named this imagined land 'Anti-Arktos', meaning the 'opposite of the Arctic'.

As well, Arctos, which means bear in the ancient Greek language, describes a stellar constellation only visible from the Northern Hemisphere. Again, anti-arktos develops into Antarctica.

The possible consequences if we don't protect Antarctica are that

• the ice cap will continue to melt from global warming, raising global sea levels
• toxic pollution in the oceans will continue to affect the food chain, affecting penguins and other creatures
• Waste and garbage will be left behind by scientists and tourists, destroying the pristine beauty of the continent.

Protecting Antarctica means becoming pro-active so as to reduce global warming -- world-wide. Also please note that people who visit -- tourists, and workers in Antarctica -- scientists and those in support of science, are not allowed to leave waste and garbage behind, per the Antarctic Treaty. All waste and garbage is either packed onto ships and returned to the country of origin or where possible, consumed in local incinerators.

There's no permanent population in Antarctica, only research scientists and the occasional adventurer/explorer. Given that, I don't think anyone has been born there.

At least ten children have been born there. The first was Emilio Marcos Palma, born on January 7, 1978
