Full Version: The Culture forum need apowerful cultural subject
what is the deal with antartica? is there or have there ever been inhabitants, language, culture of antartica or such things nearest to the outer boundaries!?!?!!
Does Antarctica have a culture? I thought it only had 1000 (temporary) inhabitants in total.
The bloodthirsty penguins are amassing a powerful force to destroy us all!
Penguins do not make good pets even as newborns cuz they are prone to bite non-penguins and require a special environment and diet..
Ever had penguin meat? Penguin on a stick? Penguin souffle? Penguin creme puffs?
Don't forget about Polar Bear culture!

Polar bear in Antartica? You're kidding right?
i have a few questions:
1. what kind of name is antarchtica?
2. are there animal fossil inside anarthica? i mean wasnt the landmass once part of the others and was broken off and traveled to the southern extremities of the globe?
3. since anartica is so cold and frozen isnt it a big freezer?

No indigenous inhabitants, but there are both permanent and summer-only staffed research stations.
Note: 26 nations, all signatory to the Antarctic Treaty, operate seasonal (summer) and year-round research stations on the continent and in its surrounding oceans; the population of persons doing and supporting science on the continent and its nearby islands south of 60 degrees south latitude (the region covered by the Antarctic Treaty) varies from approximately 4,000 in summer to 1,000 in winter.
