Unfortunately, Outposts of Antarctica contains no explanatory text stating what the category is about. However, it seems to consist of a list of manned research stations in Antarctica, so the most obvious answer is no.
Having said that, Bird Island is in the list; though not in Antarctica as such, it is closer to Antarctica than South America, and is currently a Biological research station of the British Antarctic Survey. The Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) maintains a permanent base on the Macquarie Island; but it's part of Australia. So I guess it's marginal; bung it in, I reckon, and if someone objects they can take it out. — Johan the Ghostseance14:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Part of Tasmania or the Australian Antarctic Territory
Currently says it was annexed to NSW (?) , then to Tasmania in 1890, then to AAT in 1933. If it is part of the AAT then it is not part of Tasmania, can't be both.Eregli bob (talk) 08:59, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
How can it be "Uninhabited" when "Since 1948 ... (AAD) has maintained a permanent base(AAD) has maintained a permanent base"? These two statements are conflicting. Please fix one or the other.
(Further to this, "The population" and "human inhabitants" cannot be associated with "Uninhabited")
The people at the base don't live there, they just stay there for a few months then leave (to be replaced by new people). I agree it's a fine distinction, but it's the same reason we don't talk about space being inhabited just because of the ISS. --109.157.131.193 (talk) 17:46, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have added information to the article about asbestos presence in over half of the island's buildings. I am commenting here to clarify that the Archive URL provided is the direct link to the map's PDF, and not the page containing it + more info. This is because trying to archive the original reference URL produced strange results on the internet archive, just a bunch of links not relevant to the page, so i had to try and archive something more specific as well. Let's hope the original URL doesn't go down, since some information would be lost.
Finally, i'll be grateful if someone has any more info on the mentioned future revitalizations of the island's infrastructure, since that's bound to reduce the amount of old, asbestos-containing materials, right?
Depending on how you measure these things, the pest eradication project on Macquarie Island has been eclipsed by the rat (and mouse) eradication program on South Georgia [1]62.2.246.66 (talk) 07:13, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am intrigued by the mention of a wreck of ancient design. Surely if the design were the Polynesian double canoe, Hasselbrugh would have said 'canoe'? As it is, and in view of Gavin Menzies book '1421' which details a purported global circumnavigation by the the Chinese, might this wreck have been Chinese? Has there been any further record of the wreck? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.166.88.101 (talk) 06:03, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Macquarie Island is the only place on earth to observe Permanent Daylight-Saving Time, but is uninhabited.
Despite no permanent human population and a few locals who do inhabit the island, does Macquarie Island have a much larger population of penguins, seals, etc. (more than Heard and McDonald Islansd) where a permanent DST is necessary to protect the wildlife before dark? 71.90.144.34 (talk) 00:16, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
