- jcranmer 3y agoChile and Argentina have ostensible towns on the peninsula (basically one each), in which even a few children have been born, but I'm not sure the degree to which it's possible for someone to actually get up and move down there purely on their own whim.
- madcaptenor 3y agoThey do sound like they're basically just remote small towns. See for example https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/07/world/americas/chile-antarctica-villa-las-estrellas.html https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/07/world/americas/chile-anta... which describes the Chilean one. Honestly it sounds like Chile and Argentina are both doing this to spite each other.

- vGPU 3y agoI don’t think anyone is particularly raring to go live on a continent where the warmest month is December. With perks like “in December and January the monthly average high temperature may occasionally rise above freezing” - doesn’t that just make you instantly fall in love? If you want to live somewhere cold alaska is probably the better choice, since you get to enjoy all the lovely things in life like Amazon delivery.

The remoteness is a draw for some.
