Yes - people live in Antarctica! But only in the summer. This is an active research station operated by Chile at Half Moon Bay, South Shetland Island.
Half Moon Island in the South Shetland islands has a sizable rookery of chinstrap penguins as well as nesting Antarctic terns and kelp gulls. Whales are often seen patrolling the shores, and this small island offers stunning views of surrounding mountains. This rocky island is only 1.2 miles long. It is the home of the Argentine naval station Teniente Camara, which is operated only during the southern summers.
