I WONDER - Can People Live In Antarctica?

Antarctica, unlike other continents, has no native human population. However, international scientists and researchers temporarily live and work in research stations across the continent. They conduct studies on its unique environment, wildlife, and climate, and engage in cutting-edge research. The number of scientists and support staff varies seasonally, from a few dozen in winter to over 4,000 in summer.
