There Is A Town The Antarctica That Requires All Residents To Remove Their Appendix To Live There

By ( 4 )

In the Antarctic town of Villas Las Estrellas all residents are required to literally have their appendix removed before settling there.

An appendectomy is a prerequisite for everyone (including children).

The outpost only allows 100 inhabitants max, mostly researchers and military personnel.

The nearest hospital is over 600 miles away.

Temperatures can drop below -100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Dogs are banned on the island to prevent them from transmitting diseases.
