Located in the southernmost part of the globe, Antarctica is the least populated continent due to its freezing conditions, with the majority of its landmass blanketed in ice.
Acording to the The World Counts, an environmental awareness website, "in the summer, the continent has a population of around 5,000 people but during the winter this number is reduced to roughly a fourth with 1000 people."
Its summer season usually starts in October and ends in March, but guess its present temperature: -35 degrees celsius.

“No money that you earn, no award, no project will replace the pain you will go through because you regret not spending time with those people that you love," Derek told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in October 2022.
“So I was, like, 'What is it for you to be content?' Okay, I’ll lose millions but I should be content with my life. I’m so blessed.”
