Question

how many people are there in the antarctica?

Answer 1

There are around 66 scientific bases in Antarctica, of which about 37 are occupied year round, the remainder are open during the summer and closed down for winter. There are about 4,000 people through the summer months and about 1,000 overwinter each year.

Answer 2

Antarctica has no permanent residents, but it does have a transient population of researchers and support staff. During the summer months (approximately October to February), the population can swell to around 5,000 to 6,000 people due to various scientific research stations. In winter (March to September), this number drops significantly to about 1,000 to 2,000 people, as many stations are closed or operate with reduced staff. These numbers can vary based on research activities and international agreements regarding the continent.
