Antarctica is the frigid, ice-covered continent around the South Pole. There are no indigenous humans there, and its most prominent animal is the penguin, which is native only to southern oceans. Central Antarctica is covered by a massive ice cap that is a mile thick, formed from snowfall over millions of years. For half of the year, there is almost no sunlight around the South Pole, and Antarctica is surrounded by frozen sea ice. Between 1000 and 5000 scientists are in Antarctica at any given time, and the continent is covered by a treaty that bans industrial development by any country.
