The temperature in Antarctica has reached â89 Â°C (â129 Â°F), though the average for the third quarter (the coldest part of the year) is â63 Â°C (â81 Â°F). There are no permanent human residents, but anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 people reside throughout the year at the research stations scattered across the continent.inson Massif, the highest peak in Antarctica at 4,892 m (16,050 ft), is located in the Ellsworth Mountains. Antarctica contains many other mountains, on both the main continent and the surrounding islands. Mount Erebus on Ross Island is the world's southernmost active volcano.
