How do living things survive in Antarctica?
Antarctica is not so bad in the summer. With the constant sunlight you get large plankton blooms which feeds whales and fish. The fish can then be eaten by bigger fish, birds and penguins. Most animals do not stay in Antarctica over the winter. Instead they migrate north to South America or the Arctic (among other places). Those that do stay (like male Emperor Penguins with their eggs) often do not eat at all over the winter.

Do animals hibernate in winter in Arctic and Antarctica?
The seas around Antarctica are rich in marine (sea-living) animals, ranging from microscopic plankton to the Earths largest animal, the Blue Whale. Many different species of land animals live there also. All the animals that live in and around Antarctica have ways of helping them survive the extreme weather conditions: Some, like the whales, seals and birds, have a layer of fat to insulate and protect them from the cold. Penguins and seals have a compact body shape and thick skin to help keep in their body heat. Birds have both waterproof feathers and downy feathers to keep them warm. Many of the fish and insects have special chemicals in their blood that keep them from freezing. Some animals leave Antarctica between June and August, its coldest months. For example, Humpback whales eat huge amounts of krill before migrating to warmer waters, where there is little krill, to give birth to their calves . Some animals remain in Antarctica all the time, for example, the Emperor penguins. They huddle together in huge numbers to keep warm. Because they have special adaptations to allow them to survive the freezing temperatures, they sleep in the snow (burrows/dens/nests), in the water or on the ice or huddled together in groups.
