The Nazca and Antarctic plates share a convergent tectonic boundary where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the Antarctic Plate. This results in volcanic activity and the formation of the Andes mountain range along the western coast of South America.
There are no animals that live on the Antarctic continent.

There are no land animals and only a few mosses and grasses that grow on the Antarctic continent: it's too cold there to support any kind of life.
Some animals are captured and used for research, and these animals are always marine animals. No land animals live on the Antarctic continent: it's too cold.
There are no animals on the Antarctic continent: it's too cold to support animal life or any kind of food chain.
Antarctic krill -- Euphasia superba -- form the base of the food chain in the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica. All animals that make their homes in this ocean feast on krill.There are no land animals on Antarctica.
Birds your mum, your dad and all your relatives
There are no land animals that are mammals, nor any reptiles or amphibians native to Antarctica. The continent is too cold to support animal life.However, whales, seals, birds, fish, squid, penguins and shrimp live in the waters around Antarctica. The seals and some birds remain on the continent during breeding season.Land animals that do live south of 60 degrees South Latitude, the extent of coverage by The Antarctic Treaty, are small such as spiders, mites, beetles, flies, mollusks and earthworms, but most of these are restricted to Sub-Antarctic islands north of the continent.Four of the 17 species of penguins breed along the coast of Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula. None are able to venture far inland on the Antarctic, as there is nothing on the Antarctic continent to support life. Another three species of penguins live and nest on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands. Other birds include four types of albatross that breed on the Antarctic peninsula (the northernmost part of the continent) and various Petrels, Shags and Skuas.There are many types of fish and other sea-life in Antarctic waters. Other animals are very dependent on them for food as the only plants in Antarctica are very tiny and slow growing and only grow on the tip of the peninsula. None of these is sufficient to form any kind of life-supporting food chain.No animals live on the Antarctic continent.
No animals live on the Antarctic continent -- it's too cold to support any kind of food chain. In the spring and summer, however, sea animals including birds, come to the continent to breed.
Koalas are found in eucalyptus forest along the eastern and southeastern coasts of mainland Australia.
