Detailed explanation-1: -Antarctica is the only continent with no permanent human habitation. There are, however, permanent human settlements, where scientists and support staff live for part of the year on a rotating basis. The continent of Antarctica makes up most of the Antarctic region.

Detailed explanation-3: -The people who travel to or live in Antarctica fall into two main groups, those who live and work on scientific research stations or bases, and tourists.
