Have any humans settled on antarctica?

While there are no permanent human settlements on Antarctica due to its harsh environment, there are several scientific research stations that operate seasonally or year-round. These research stations are home to scientists and support staff from various countries who conduct research in various fields such as climate science, glaciology, biology, and astrophysics. The number of people present at these stations fluctuates depending on the season, with more individuals present during the summer when weather conditions are more favourable.
