Antarctica may be the coldest place on Earth and covered in snow, but it still has life; sea life consists mainly of whales, seals, phytoplankton, krill, and fish. Land life consists of much more, but fall into two categories, like everywhere else; plants and animals. There aren't very many plants (low temperatures make it hard for them to live) but lichens, mosses, fungi, liverwort, and algae. Land life consists of insects and birds. 67 species of insects have been recorded of living on Antarctica. 7 species of penguins live in Antarctica; the Emperor penguin, the Adelie penguin, the Gentoo penguin, the Chinstrap penguin, the King penguin, the Rockhopper penguin, and the Macaroni penguin. About 35 species of birds inhabit Antarctica, traveling around it and hunting around it year-round.
