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.

Which is the most ethical response if an experiment fails to confirm a hypothesis?
miv72 [106K]
In this circumstance one should revise the hypothesis and develop a new experiment to test it.An example could be the theory of Agraham Gottloeb Werner that all rocks were precipitated from water including not just sedimentary rocks but also volcanic, plutonic and metamorphic rocks. The more the earth was studied, especially by James Hutton in Scotland, the more it became obvious that granites for example were deposited in a molten state, thus disproving that hypothesis or theory.

How many people live in the urban center of Buenos Aires, Argentina? How do economic activity and climate help explain why so ma
Levart [38]

Answer:

2.89 Million People

Explanation:

Most of Argentina is mountainous (The Western side), which has extreme cold temperatures which makes it a popular skiing destination for tourists, it also happens to be not as populated. However, what makes Buenos Aires so different is that it's along the ocean, which makes it a much more livable and sustainable climate, it also gets a large economic boost because it has a large docking and trade system located there.

Examples of this would be other lightly populated rough climate countries such as Mongolia, which has only a population of 3 million despite it's large land borders.
