  It seems like people come and go a lot so I'm curious how it would be the same Antarctic English described in the Wikipedia article. This video talks about an experiment where it seems like an accent was formed by a new group of people.

    What you probably need to factor in is that there is no complete turnover every year. Some people might spend multiple seasons there, or at the very least return on a regular basis for research. Then there is also support staff who might work there for multiple seasons. So there likely is enough overlap between people that have been there for longer and new people to pick up on the accent. The latter is something that people subconsciously do fairly easily.

  I wish they had actual recordings of the comparison instead of a non-Antarctic guy blabbering about it.
