In short its too cold, it only gets above freezing in some portions of the coast for about 10 to 20 days the entire year. The only things that grow are some lichens and short grasses. Most of the land surface is covered by a layer of ice some 1 to 2 miles in thickness.

The 12 nations that have claims in Antarctica created a treaty that reserves the entire continent for scientific research. No permanent settlements or military installations are allowed. Tourists are allowed.

It costs the countries millions per year to ship in enough fuel to power the generators that provide power and heat to the stations. McMurdo Station (run by the US) gets delivered 3.5 million gallons of fuel each year. This year the station's Fuels department offloaded about 3.5 million gallons of three types of fuel – AN8, JP5 and mogas, for motor gasoline – in about 45 hours.
