The resources you need to live in Antarctic



Antarctica once known Gondwana is the coldest
and driest place on earth. It hasn't rained
there for nearly two million years. In Antarctica,
no one technically lives there unlike we do in
the rest of the world.

Firstly most people go to Antarctica to live and
work on scientific research stations. People
don't realise they can't just go there for a
holiday or build a house. You need to know
to go there. There is a training camp called
Happy camper school. They teach you how to
build a snow shelter and what to do if you are
lost, how to keep hydrated and survive in
extreme weather conditions.

Secondly, if you are going to Antarctica
you need to be kitted out with lots of warm
clothes including gloves, socks, snow boots,
skins long sleeves and long legs, pants then
waterproof warm pants over top, a long sleeve
warm top and then over the top a big thick
raincoat, also wear a beanie and some
goggles.

Thirdly you need to have a good home.
It needs to be a bright colour so people
can see it. Because if it was white you
could not see it because it will blend in
with the snow. Most houses and labs now
have stilts. This is so the snow can go under and the wind can blow
under too instead of blowing over. In your house,
you need a gym, a medical unit, a sauna, a kitchen and lots of things
like that. Also, you need to have lots of food because
nothing edible grows there. Most stations have a greenhouse to maintain
a good source of fresh vegetables outside.

In conclusion, it is very hard to live and go through the rough cold conditions. By Troy
