How many Antarctic Bases are there?

Answer 1

There are approximately 30 bases stationed in Antarctica. During the summer months, the population of Antarctica is roughly 4,000 people. However, during the winter months, this population total dips to near 1,000 total.

Answer 2

Currently, there are three year-round, permanent scientific bases in Antarctica supported by the National Science Foundation, the American presence in Antarctica. They are:

• Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station
• McMurdo Station
• Palmer Station

You can read more about each, about temporary summer camps, and abandoned camps, below.

Answer 3

This number varies with the seasons and with government funding.

Generally, for every scientist working there, about seven other souls work in support of science.

If the population of the continent is 4,000 at the height of the summer season, can you do the math to estimate the number of scientists?

Answer 4

66 Permanent and Temporary bases, bases of 30 countries.
