No Indigenous Population
Other than the flipper-ed animals living on the continent, there isn’t an indigenous population in the whole of Antarctica. Additionally, humans didn’t even have knowledge about this continent until the 1770s. Since its initial discovery, many researchers have made attempts at uncovering its secrets.
Previous Technology
When previously conducting research, specialists used radar technology to map out terrain that can be found beneath the continent’s ice sheets. This method uses microwave radiation pulses to build-up an accurate image. However, this technology is met with many limitations.
