Are there any inhabited cities in Antarctica?

There are no permanent inhabited cities in Antarctica, mainly because of the harsh climate and the logistical difficulties of setting up and maintaining a city in such an extreme environment. However, there are several research stations and bases in Antarctica, where scientists and support staff live and work for various periods. These stations usually have a small population of a few dozen to a few hundred people at a time and support research activities in various scientific disciplines, such as climate studies, geology, biology, and astronomy. Examples of research stations in Antarctica include McMurdo Station (United States), Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station (United States), Palmer Station (United States), and Neumayer-Station III (Germany).
