Antarctica

Culture & Identity

Since Antarctica was uninhabited until the past century and those who currently live on the island are temporary residents, there is no true culture or identity associated with the island. The culture that exists is one of scientific access and cooperation as nearly every resident works for a government-run or government-supported project. In each of these scientific communities the culture and people are representative by the country each is from. From one community to the next though, there is a true feeling of cooperation as human interaction is always welcomed, no matter the other person's origin.
