Do you think that people can live on Antartica?

Question

Since global warming is making the climate over there more friendlier for humans??

Answer 1

The climate is not more friendly to humans?  You would have to undergo many hours of training to be able to live in Antarctica.  Attached to the Antarctic Centre in Christchurch New Zealand is a training centre for those who will be going to and living in the Antarctic.

You have to undergo many tests to be able to survive successfully in the Antarctic.  As you will be living in close quarters your personality must be such that you can get along with all of the others living there too.

The winters are extremely harsh and not conducive to being friendlier for humans.  Go to this website and it will give you information and a small taste of what living there would be like -- wearing four or five layers of clothes to me is not friendly.

Nope.  It's the driest desert on Earth.  There is little soil.  Even if it warms up, nothing much will grow there.
