Unoccupied territory
It has been dedicated a scientific preserve, claimed by no one nation. While there is no permanent human population, there is continuous year-round occupation at many scientific outposts on the continent.
Antarctica is a place full of exotic wildlife and breathtaking scenery. If all of it were to be destroyed seal levels will rise drastically over 200 m . This is because Antarctica's ice sheets holds up to 70 % of the worlds fresh water and 90 % of the worlds ice. What people have to do is limit there visits to Antarctica to stop pollution . they should not litter or harm any of the animals. They also should limit the amount of people per year because it is increasing steadily as more and more people want to visit the last great wilderness of the world. So people have to take care of Antarctica or drastic things will happen to the environment!
I hope this has helped anyone:)
A scientific preserve owned by no one -APEX (this is correct, just got it right. Trust me)
Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which governs all land south of 60 degrees S.
The treaty sets this land aside for the scientific study of the health of planet earth.
Antarctica -- and all of the land on planet earth south of 60 degrees S -- falls under the control of the Antarctic Treaty, which forms its government.
Antarctica is governed by The Antarctic Treaty.
You can find the whole of the Antarctic continent south of 60 degrees south latitude.
The antarctic landmass comes under the scientific treaty of research and discovery and is thus a politically neutral region and is formed by the related agreement of all member nations.
Which describes the political status of Antar?
Since Antarctica is a continent with no countries, there are no officials named to such a position.
As with all continents, Antarctica is fixed in is earthly position.
Antarctica is located in the Southern Hemisphere, south of 60 degrees South Latitude.
Antarctica Locals Only :D
If you are a doctor and want to serve in Antarctica, you can apply to your government for a temporary position in a research station on the continent.
next to Antarctica. it drifted to its current position
It did not move, the large continents moved away form it. Antarctica has occupied the south polar position for a long time.
Antarctica and Australia were separated approximately 55 million years ago, when Australia began to move north to its current position.
The coal deposits in Antarctica are explained by Pangaea where Antarctica was located next to South America, Africa, Australia, and India.
The position of any continent on earth is located where it is based on the vagaries of the planet's infrastructure which is under the control of Mother Nature.
During the Cretaceous Period, Antarctica was covered with forests and was for a period of time, tropical. The continent gradually drifted southward to its present position over the south polar region.
The climate of Antarctica is affected by its geographic position--it is on the south pole, so it gets no sun at all during the winter. There are also ocean currents, wind currents, and other things that affect the climate.
