What to do in Case of Emergency in Antarctica

In America, we all know that you dial 911 in case of an emergency. What do you do in other countries? Many times if you dial 911 you'll probably be fine and you'll be rerouted to the local emergency system. (Sometimes you are not so you should probably check online before you visit a foreign country).

But what about Antarctica?

Your 911 call only calls the nearest island/country that has a police and emergency system. In case of no response, try all emergency numbers that exist such as 112 and 999 until someone answers. There is no dispatch center in Antarctica.

Today you learned. Do not have an emergency in Antarctica.
