List of uninhabited regions

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A map of the world showing inhabited regions in green, and uninhabited regions in grey.

An uninhabited region is a place where no people live. By 'uninhabited' is meant "no one lives there permanently". The difficult case is Antarctica, where there are permanent stations, but their staff do not stay permanently. In other places there may be visitors, and sometimes research teams visit for longer periods.
