Geography Antarctica Read through the information in the worksheet and highlight or underline the relevant points. Antarctica has no native human population, but each year around 4,000 people from over 27 countries live and work on research stations on the continent. Of about 50 permanent stations, about three quarters operate right through the year. Each research station is like a small, self-contained community where science projects are carried out. As well as living and working space, each one has a kitchen with large food stores, workshops and medical facilities. Nowadays, they also have satellite links to the outside world. The American research station, McMurdo, is the largest. McMurdo is home to 250 people during the winter, and 1,000 during the summer. To keep a research station running all year, considerable planning is required. Ships and aircraft that supply the research stations with everything they need can only reach them during the summer. During the winter, darkness, severe weather and thickening sea ice mean that the research stations are basically cut off from the outside world.
