Antarctica is covered -- 98% -- by an ice sheet, not snow. You can find snow sometimes on the Antarctic Peninsula.
The beaches are ice-free, as are the nunataks -- the mountain tops that poke above the ice sheet.

∙ 7y agoMost of the continent is either covered in ice or consists of bare rock. There is very little soil found anywhere in Antarctica, hence it remained uninhabited by humans. Penguins and sea birds can live on the periphery, but it is too cold for land animals.
Clarification of the above: 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet, with nunataks poking out that are bare rock. Penguins and sea birds breed on the periphery, but live in open water. No land animals live on the continent, and that's why sea birds breed there.
