Not a lot of direct sunlight.
The temperature in Antarctica has reached −89 °C (−129 °F).

Extremely cold temperatures, mostly.
Overall, on average, the temperature on Antarctica -- the continent -- is colder that temperatures in the Antarctic region, since temperatures in the region may be warmer than those on the continent.
low temperatures
Continued exposure to low or rapidly falling temperatures.
Temperatures can vary from -135 degrees F in the Antarctic Desert to +134 degrees F in the Mojave Desert.
The ozone layer is only depleted over the Antarctic. It is because ozone depletion requires very less temperatures. As these temperatures are only at the poles so Antarctica is the perfect place for it.
The Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) are the low salinity waters found in the Southern Ocean.
