Did anyone die in Antarctica

Answer 1

Wikipedia lists less than 1,000 people who have died either in the Southern Ocean around the continent or on Antarctica since 1810 -- in 'disasters'. About 15 people are listed as having died on Antarctica in expeditions since 1899.

There have also been accidental deaths of temporary workers since the 1960s, but the numbers are not readily available.

Answer 2

Yes, there are stories of early explorers who died in Antarctica.

As well, during more modern times, people who behave carelessly or take unnecessary chances with their lives have died there.

Answer 3

Generally, every person who dies in Antarctica dies due to the extreme cold.

There are stories of explorers who drowned because the weight of the clothing they wore prevented them from surfacing in order to be rescued; explorers who slipped and fell, breaking and damaging their bodies so they could not recover in the extreme cold are included in these statistics.

An Air New Zealand airplane crashed into Mt Erebus in 1979, multiple ships have sunk in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, and recently building fires have claimed lives.

A superficial calculation of deaths in Antarctica listed on Wikipedia, the number totals about 949 since 1819, the earliest record of death there.

However it happens, death in Antarctica can be attributed in some way to the extreme cold.

Answer 4

There is no mining in Antarctica, thus no deaths involved in this activity.

Answer 5

Yes. People have died in Antarctica and in the Southern Ocean that surrounds the continent -- from a variety of man-made disasters, during exploration expeditions, and by accidents.
