Antarctica only includes part-time colonists as it's native population, part-time colonists migrate from a colonial power and settle in a colony either year-round, or seasonal, and then migrates back to the colonial power, part-time colonists are mostly scientists, experts, & explorers, they also bring their families to the continent,

Antarctica is the least-populous continent in the world, with only 3,181 people living there, Antarcticans are 99% of European descent, with 1% being of other races, Antarctica is also considered a ""western continent"" along with North America, Europe, & Australia.
