Why has no one ever permanently settled antarctica?

There is food and there is tons of water. It is cold but many people live in Siberia where its pretty much just as cold during winters. It lies close to southern Patagonia.

Why hasn't it ever been settled?

Because it's fucking cold out there

Isn't there a permanent base over there?

This

Yes, plenty:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_stations_in_Antarctica#List_of_research_stations

Over 250 000 people live in Yakutsk. If so many people live there than at least some people can live in Antarctica

So that means no minorites then.

The average high in Siberia in July is 25.7 degrees Celsius, the average low in January is -20.1 degrees Celsius, and the daily average is 2.1.

The highest temperature Antarctica has ever recorded was 17.5 degrees celsius and in the warmest parts of the continent the temperature averages -10.

It is significantly colder.

This is the stupidest fucking cherrypicking job I've ever seen, and I frequent /pol/. Who the fuck made this piece of shit? It doesn't even make sense.

>wh*tes think they own the cold

Hyperboreans were white, not Asian.

antarctica has no plants whatsoever
siberia has plants

CUTE!!!

Don't worry, we'll have domed cities down there someday.

I guess your masturr race has been kicked out by chinky manlets who eat raw meat and chuck bone spears like savages.

It's not stupid, stay mad.

Because it's a frigid wasteland you dumb-dumb.

It's actually really far away from the other continents. You probably don't realize just how isolated it is. Noone was even able to discover it until the later half of the 19th century.

It's cold out there every day, what do you think this is, Miami Beach?

Do they fear the penguin warrior?

It's not settled because the Antarctic Treaty forbids it. Simple as that.

There is wood to build houses and fuel fires with in Siberia.

There isn't any in Antarctica.

The only reason the Antarctic Treaty was ratified was it wasn't worth settling.

>scotland
>no minorities

except scotcucks are the biggest refugee craving cucks outside germany

First building was erected there I think in 1899 or so. In the first years of exploration, those who went there were mapping the continent, naming land after their monarch and stuff but basically they only owned their lviing quaters.

Most expeditions weren't even official. They had official support but there was no official hierarchy even though navy usually had the command. In Great Britian expeditions were usually organized by Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Society.

In the 1920s and all the way until after WWII Americans were the ones sending the most ambitious expeditions but by then many other countries had their own bases and territorial claims. In late 50s everybody had one round of intensive research (International Geophysical Year) followed by the first successful crossing of the continent by the British. In 1959 in the Antarctic Treaty the place became a neutral zone. And in 1991 Madrid Protocol ensured that there will be no excavation for at least 50 years starting with 1998.

That's fucking stupid. The highest permanent settlement is populated by andeans and mongrels.

Also, the coldest places are populated by asians.

The only people are acclimated to warm and hot temperature zones, are blacks and eurangutans.

>no one

Titanosaur

>cold as fuck
>stormy as fuck
>barely any plants except for some algae and lichen
But what about that warm cave they found over there, deep in the ice? Also, the nazis live there in the underground.

It's more isolated than the arctic for the sole reason that it isn't connected by land even for part of the year. Closest I could think of is some Polynesians briefly colonizing some of the sub-Antarctic islands and leaving when they thought it wasn't worth it.

Australia and Arabia confirmed as arctic nations

1- No there's no food. Only few protected marine species near the shores, and absolutely no life inland. The only plants are lichens.
2- It's much colder than Siberia, it freezes in summer.
3- Patagonia is the worst place on earth, windy, rainy, cloudy, cold 365 days a year, what makes you think its "proximity" (1000 km) provides an advantage?

Tons of water? It's literally the driest continent there is.

The entrance to hollow earth there.

> Why hasn't it ever been settled?
Chile and Argentina literally have small towns there, with children and all.

>many people live in Siberia where its pretty much just as cold during winters
Top fucking kek. When was the last time Siberia reached -90°C?

Tierra del Fuego (Southernmost point of Patagonia) is full of bolivians in the Argentinian side and haitians in the Chilean one

Where's your god now, /pol/tard?

Canada still exists.

but TDF is tropical compared to mainland Antarctica

>ohboyherewego.wad
Southern Patagonia has almost the same climates as north Europe and Siberia. There is even winter nights were there's still sun at 00 AM. According to /pol/tard logic only whites could live there despite most of Siberia being inhabited by mongoloids and Patagonia by amerindians (before argies genocided them)

Southern pole is deserted much in the same way extreme north artic regions are.

The "le snow is le white man place guise it keeps shitskins away XD" meme is one of the most autistic and retarded things stormfags ever pulled

This post is the most autistic one I've seen on Veeky Forums today.

>According to /pol/tard logic only whites could live there despite most of Siberia being inhabited by mongoloids and Patagonia by amerindians (before argies genocided them)
i dont think ive ever heard anyone say siberia isnt full of asians. you're imagining things again, becky.

not disagreeing with you, just saying that Antarctica is very different to TDF or even Siberia, Greenland or North Canada. Only the outer islands like King George can sustain very small settlements and those are totally dependent on external supplies

>Southern Patagonia has almost the same climates as north Europe and Siberia.
Yes and no. It's in the same classification as the north coast of Norway for example but it's definitely not the same "climate". It's much more extreme. There's so few sunny days that the best camouflage for the military vessels here is pitch black...

This lake is located in the driest place on earth. That's right, in antarctica. A 5000 square km valley that has not seen rain in 2 million years, because the winds nearby are so heavy with water that gravity pulls them away from this place.
Have fun with your lake, which by the way has 3 times more salt than oceans

>Patagonia is the worst place on Earth
This dude right here doesnt know about comfy

>bolivians settle in such a place to get the citizenship quickier due to a law that grants argentinian citizenship easier to anybody settling in Tierra del Fuego
I hate them but must recognise they are perseverant

the more important reason is Tierra del Fuego industries pay much better than in the rest of the country

There is no vegetation, no way to graze animals, nothing. Only thing you can really eat is fucking fish and penguins that eat fish. And the temperatures get so low its impossible to live there without the help of modern technology. It's basically a frozen shithole that's useless for anything except mining, oil drilling, climate research, and finding dino fossils.

> Patagonia is the worst place on earth
True. The best place to escape from Capital is San Luis province

I never Said that they would settle The coldest part of antarctica. Settling The coastal areas would seem logical

>Implying wind and rain and clouds and the cold isn't the comfiest thing ever

>tons of water

Salt water and ice doesn't count. Even much of the snow, which is rarer than one would think simply because it never melts, tends to be rather toxic.

No landbridges, no food, aside from fish, which you can get in greater quantities near anywhere else, and a climate so nasty there are other planets that can compete for more mild temperatures for much of the year.

You'd be better off trying to live on a plastic island in the pacific.

t. british

so the US is suddenly considered a cold country now?

Bacause is the coldest place in the planet, way worse than Siberia, the only food is in the sea with ice covered coasts and the fresh water is always ice.

WE

Damn user, you don't get basic geographic shit. post a picture of the green forests of Antarctica with over 0ºC summers and fowing rivers.

sounds comfy desu

>average temp above 0C for 5 months of the year
