Are people allowed to live in Antarctica?

No, people are not allowed to live in Antarctica permanently. The Antarctic Treaty, signed in 1959, designates Antarctica as a "land of science" and prohibits any military activity or permanent habitation on the continent. The treaty also prohibits any activity that could damage the Antarctic environment or disturb the scientific research that takes place there.

However, there are a number of research stations in Antarctica that are staffed by scientists and researchers from around the world. These stations are typically open for only a few months each year, and the people who work there must follow strict environmental guidelines. There are no permanent settlements in Antarctica, and no one is allowed to live there year-round.
