There are around 66 scientific bases in Antarctica, of which about 37 are occupied year round. There are about 4,000 people through the summer months and about 1,000 overwinter each year.
Antarctica has two seasons - a very brief summer and a long cold winter. At the South Pole, there is only one period of sunlight each year, and it lasts six months! It's a great place to avoid vampires - at least for half of the year. The other half is a different story, because the sun does not come above the horizon for the remaining six months.
