South pole just has the largest population of king penguins and nothing else as its one of the most baroness places on earth with temp averaging minus 50. The North pole has various scientists and Eskimos on the outer hard rock of the pole. In both waters North and South there is a variety of aquatic life the North being better having the great blue whale

Yes, there is a multinational scientific station at the South Pole. The North Pole is rather thin ice over water and normally is deserted

Tere is a station at the South Pole, with people there all time. It can only be reached between mid Feb and Mid Oct. During the winter no one can leave. I spent a year there in 2000, and go down each summer.

Depends what you call by live. There are some scientist who spend along time there but no native people actualy at the poles.
There are some natives living within the arctic circle in greendland though.

the question is:how cold is it where eskimos live and how is it that their bodies adapted to that environment?So on the one hand you could argue and say that the human body is so adaptive that you can subject it to any environment and it will adjust but the other arguement could be that there's limits to what we can adapt to. So in answer to your question I don't think that anybody could live there. Would they even get sun there?How about vegetation?Even the bushmen in South Africa who live in the desert have some vegetation to eat.

NO. Humans have not adapted to live in these kinds of extreme conditions for long periods of time. The climate is too harsh.

Some Eskimos.

Not permanently, no.
I think people live there for research purposes (e.g. climate change) for short periods, perhaps a few months at a time but not as their main home.
