The popularity of the Firefox Web browser has grown tremendously in recent years, but there is one region where it is practically ubiquitous. Firefox has consistently held 80 percent market share in Antarctica.

The Firefox enthusiasts at the bottom of the world are now launching their own community group in collaboration with Mozilla. A new Mozilla Antarctica website went live on Tuesday of this week, the 191st anniversary of the first documented landing on mainland Antarctica.

The Mozilla Antarctica community group started as a joke. Mozilla's David Boswell included a reference to an Antarctic community group as an easter egg when he developed the global Mozilla community map. The idea soon took on a life of its own when Boswell began working with a group of Antarctic enthusiasts to make the joke a reality.

There isn't much on the Mozilla Antarctica website yet, but it promises to deliver interviews with Antarctic Firefox users and (of course) nyan-penguins. For more details about the community group's mission, check out the about page on the Mozilla Antarctica website.
