Today’s Final Jeopardy

One of the 10 or so babies born at Argentina’s Esperanza base in this place was fittingly named Marisa de Las Nieves

Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Antarctica

Final Jeopardy Explanation 

The Esperanza base, an Argentine research station located on the Antarctic Peninsula, is known for being one of the very few places in Antarctica where births have occurred. Marisa de Las Nieves was one of the approximately ten babies born there, highlighting Argentina’s claim and presence in the region. The choice of her name, which includes “de Las Nieves” meaning “of the snows,” fittingly reflects the icy and snowy environment of Antarctica. This unusual occurrence underlines both the challenges and the human aspects of maintaining a permanent presence in such a remote and extreme part of the world.
