MEMORANDUM OPINION

VASQUEZ, Judge: This case is before the Court on respondent's motion for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 121. ¹ After a concession, ² the sole issue for decision is whether petitioner can exclude from income wages earned during 2000 from working in Antarctica.

At the time she filed the petition, petitioner resided in Dodge Center, Minnesota. During 2000, petitioner performed services at McMurdo Station in Ross Island, Antarctica. On her 2000 Federal income tax return, petitioner excluded wage income earned and received during 2000 for services performed in Antarctica.

Rule 121(a) provides that either party may move for summary judgment upon all or any part of the legal issues in controversy. Full or partial summary judgment may be granted only if it is 2007 Tax Ct. Memo LEXIS 352">*353 demonstrated that no genuine issue exists as to any material fact and that the legal issues presented by the motion may be decided as a matter of law. See Rule 121(b); Sundstrand Corp. v.Commissioner, 98 T.C. 518">98 T.C. 518, 98 T.C. 518">520 (1992), affd. 17 F.3d 965">17 F.3d 965 (7th Cir. 1994). We conclude that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that a decision may be rendered as a matter of law.

II. In General

Section 61(a) provides that gross income means all income from whatever source derived. Accordingly, citizens of the United States generally are taxed on income earned outside the geographical boundaries of the United States unless the income is specifically excluded from gross income. Specking v. Comm'r, 117 T.C. 95">117 T.C. 95, 117 T.C. 95">101-102 (2001), affd. sub nom. Haessly v. Comm'r, 68 Fed. Appx. 44">68 Fed. Appx. 44 (9th Cir. 2003), affd. sub nom. Umbach v. Comm'r, 357 F.3d 1108">357 F.3d 1108 (10th Cir. 2003). Exclusions from income are construed narrowly, and taxpayers must bring themselves within the clear scope of the exclusion. Id.

III. Section 911

In Arnett v. Comm'r, 126 T.C. 89">126 T.C. 89, 126 T.C. 89">91-96 (2006) (ArnettI), affd. 473 F.3d 790">473 F.3d 790 (7th Cir. 2007) (Arnett II), we addressed the arguments made by the parties herein regarding 2007 Tax Ct. Memo LEXIS 352">*354 section 911. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit agreed with our analysis of section 911 and affirmed our conclusion that Antarctica is not a "foreign country" pursuant to section 911 and the regulations there under. Arnett v. Comm'r, 473 F.3d 790">473 F.3d at 799. We shall not repeat our analysis from Arnett I herein. We follow our analysis and holding in 126 T.C. 89">Arnett I and the analysis and holding of the Court of Appeals in 473 F.3d 790">Arnett II. ^{32007 Tax Ct. Memo LEXIS 352">*355}

Accordingly, for the reasons stated in 126 T.C. 89">Arnett I, 473 F.3d 790">Arnett II, and herein, we conclude that petitioner cannot exclude from gross income wages earned during 2000 from working in Antarctica.
