Antarctica isn't well-suited to conventional cities...but it *is* well-suited to floating cities, technology we can take off-world. As crazy as it might sound, might Earth's coldest continent be a proving ground for the solar system's hottest planet?

Cloud cities are oft thought impractical, but they may hold the key to opening up Interior Antarctica, Venus, and destinations beyond.

Interior Antarctica is *very* well-suited for the cloud city concept, in as much as it's not really more technically challenging than surface construction there, and room-temperature air is tremendously warmer than the cold ambient air, maximizing lift.

Thinking about colonizing Antarctica, it occurs to me: why bother with igloos, caves, skis, sleds, or buildings on stilts when you could just float above it all, landing wherever whenever? Nuclear cruise zeppelins might be the ideal homesteads.
