Antarctica is a continent where you can find the South Pole. There are no nations there, but you can find research stations there that operate under the Antarctic Treaty and all facilitate scientific study of the health of planet earth.
Seven nations have claimed sovereignty over various sections of the continent, but the claims are all held in abeyance by the Antarctic Treaty (1961), which as well prohibits new territorial claims. Some of the existing claims overlap each other.
At more than 14,000,000 km2, it is the fifth largest continent, and is about 1.5 times the area of Europe. Antarctica is a desert. It is the coldest, driest, windiest and highest (on average) continent on earth. The ice sheet averages one mile in thickness, and the dryness is based on an annual average precipitation of less than five inches. The ice contains about 70% of the earth's store of fresh water.
