Abstract
Most people picture Antarctica as a frozen continent of wilderness, but people have
been living – and building – there for decades. Now, for the first time, we can reveal
the human footprint across the entire continent.
Our research, published today in the journal Nature Sustainability, found that while
buildings and disturbance cover a small portion of the whole continent, it has an
outsized impact on Antarctica’s ecosystem.
