This is what Antarctica looks like:
Did you know?
-
Antarctica is not really a country.
It is an uninhabited continent at the bottom of the world, covered with ice.
Different countries have claimed parts of it because it has large mineral
deposits.
-
Because Antarctica is so cold and people
cannot raise food, it has no permanent human settlements.
However, there are several research bases.
-
If the Antarctic ice sheet melted,
the sea would rise at least 60 meters!
-
Antarctica is the coldest, windiest,
highest, and driest continent on Earth.
