People live in Alaska because it has a milder climate and more hospitable conditions compared to Antarctica. Alaska has a more stable environment with access to resources, infrastructure, and communities, making it a more suitable place for human habitation. Antarctica, on the other hand, is a harsh, uninhabited continent with extreme cold temperatures and limited resources, making it impractical for long-term settlement.
