Antarctica is the highest, driest, windiest, darkest, coldest and iciest continent on earth. It is the heart of the Antarctic Region, which is polar and exists south of the Antarctic Circle. The Southern Ocean, which surrounds the continent, is the most productive ocean on earth, in terms of overall protein production.

The whole of planet earth south of 60 degrees S -- i.e., most of the Antarctic Region -- is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, signed in 1960 by governments representing 80% of the earth's population.
