All of the responses provided are correct. Physical geography in Antarctica, characterized by constant snowfall, frozen oceans, and ice sheets, has indeed blocked permanent settlement in the region. The harsh climate and difficult conditions make it nearly impossible for people to engage in agriculture or meet their basic needs. Additionally, the coastal mountains present further barriers for settlement.
