Continent Antarctica

What to expect

Antarctica is the world's southernmost and fifth largest continent, almost wholly covered by a vast ice sheet. It is a cold dry desert where access to water determines the abundance of life. The continent is divided into East Antarctica and West Antarctica, with the Transantarctic Mountains separating them. Antarctica is home to several unique features, including ice shelves, glaciers, and icebergs. The surrounding ocean is rich in life, and the continent is a popular destination for scientific research and tourism. However, human activity has a significant impact on the continent, including pollution, ozone depletion, and climate change
