All of the above.<\/p>\n<p>Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth. It is also the most remote, with no permanent population. The only people who live in Antarctica are scientists and support staff who work at research stations.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently 54 countries that have signed the Antarctic Treaty, which is an agreement to cooperate in the peaceful use of Antarctica. Of these countries, 12 have maintained research stations in Antarctica at some point in time.
