The longest anyone has lived in Antarctica is 775 days, or over two years. This record was set by Dr. Emile Marcus, an American scientist who spent 25 months at McMurdo Station, the largest research station in Antarctica, between 1973 and 1975.
While Dr. Marcus holds the record for the longest continuous stay, many other researchers and support staff spend extended periods in Antarctica, often for several months at a time.
The harsh conditions of Antarctica, including extreme cold, isolation, and limited resources, make it a challenging place to live. However, for those who choose to call it home for a time, it offers a unique and rewarding experience.
