The environment is not hospitable to human life, and international treaties forbid any country from claiming territory in Antarctica, which a permanent residency would be doing by default. If you want cold and dark and very little interaction with other people, move to Finland.

Overwintering, in 100% darkness adds its own difficulties. Psychologically, it's very demanding. Living in close quarters with a small, unchanging group of people is very difficult, and the longer the stretch of time, the more of a strain it is on everyone. This is true even in much milder climates than Antarctica's.

How does cliff collapse affect the environment
Ede4ka [16]
A cliff collapse could affect the environment by exposing new rock (previously covered by the cliff) to the elements, which could result in runoff of a different nature when it rains. Additionally, the cliff would collapse upon whatever life/features existed at the base of the cliff. One of the most drastic effects could be the shaking of the earth. Cliff failures can result in earthquakes or, if the cliff collapses into a large body of water, massive tsunamis which radically impact coastal environments.
