Antarctica
Antarctica is known as the frozen continent.
Humans do not inhabit the continent of Antarctica permanently, but there are settlements there where teams of scientists study aspects of the great frozen continent.
Antarctica is the frozen continent located south of the equator. It is the southernmost continent on Earth and is covered in ice and snow.
The continent is mostly accessible between about October and about February. Otherwise, the sea ice is frozen over and ships cannot approach the continent. There is no commercial air service to anywhere on the Antarctic continent, so a tour boat may be your best option to visit Antarctica.
Antarctica is the only continent that is completely frozen in the soil. The majority of the continent is covered in ice, with thick ice sheets that have formed over millions of years.
Since Antarctica is mostly a Ice-covered landmass, yes. However there are portions that are just perma-frozen sea, like the Arctic.
Because the continent is mostly inaccessible when the Southern Ocean is frozen over, generally access is available from about October to about February, depending on the state of the sea ice.
The continent of Asia has the sweltering Gobi desert, and the tundra of Siberia.
