      Okay and that would still be less than 0.00% which is the significant figures on the chart. They can’t just put 0.01.because 11 out 8 billion people were born there.

        They could have put <0.01 but either way there’s no real society/culture there to bwgin with. I personally wouldn’t have even included it on the map.

        I will say if they were included on education stats, they would probably top all global charts.

        IIRC Argentina facilitated a few births on the outlying islands to make a point. Usually kids are avoided in such a harsh and precarious place, though.

    With all the scientists and cruises that tour around Antarctica, I am not convinced that the chances of being born there are a flat 0. It might be less than 1% but no way it’s 0.

    At least 11 babies have been born in Antarctica.
