Antarctica

Commercial Whaling has been banned since 1986 by the International Whaling commission. However, scientific whaling is allowed to strict quotas.

You could die from hypothermia, fall into a crevasse with no rescue available, slip into the Southern Ocean wearing your extreme cold weather gear and drown, or approach an adult breeding sea bird protecting its chick and be attacked.

After enormous amounts of global warming, Antarctica may lose a lot of ice, but remember that when it was tropical, it was part of pangea and therefore wasn't as isolated as it is now, so with Its current position at the bottom of the earth, I doubt it would ever be tropical again because of the lack of sunlight

Ninety-eight percent of the Antarctica continent is covered by its ice sheet.. There are several types of ice formations that can be found in Antarctica, including ice walls, ice shelves, and ice glaciers.

Your answer depends on the subject being measured. Out of doors, one would choose an instrument that survives in the extreme cold, and delivers data in the measuring system required.

Without endorsement, you can review the different types of thermometers below:

Well the water temperature is realy realy low they survive in the water because they have thick layers of skin. and the food well they find food from under the sea

Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.

Well Antarctica is all Snow and Ice, no grass, no trees, no green. Temperatures are always Low. There is very little animal life, no grazing animals at all. If you go outside in the winter without heavy clothes, you will DIE.

I could only find three seas: Weddell sea, Ross sea, and the Amundsen sea. I also found sea ice but I'm not sure if its a sea.

Icebergs float north until they melt completely.

There are two: Antarctica and the Atacama Desert.

There are only two flowering plants that can survive in Antarctica. They are the Antarctic pearlwort and the Antarctic hair grass. The remaining plant life is limited to mosses, lichens, and fungi.

Antarctica is the highest continent given its size and average elevation.

In 1959, the Antarctic Treaty was signed by 12 nations, not only to protect the continent and its environment, ignore land claims and prohibit future land claims, but also to ensure that it remains demilitarised.

Indeed, the Antarctic Treaty governs all of the land south of 60 degrees South Latitude, which includes the continent of Antarctica.

It is enforced by peer pressure among governments, and regular inspections.

In January 2008, a previously unknown and unnamed Antarctic volcano erupted blowing a substantial hole in the ice sheet and shot gas and ash 12 km into the air. The volcano, which had not erupted for about 2,300 years, is located close to the Pine Island Glacier. It is said to be the biggest eruption in Antarctica for 10,000 years. Scientists said it may explain the speeding up of historically slow-moving glaciers in the region. Until recently, Mount Erebus was the only active volcano on Antarctica. Other inactive volcanos include Mount Terror, Mount Bird and Mount Terra-Nova. There are about 20 inactive volcanos on Antactica.

in the past, the regions which are now the tundras may have consisted of forests and animal life. then the plant and animal life was finished, the remains got buried under the ground resulting the making of oil and coal after many thousand years.

There are no native people or indigenous people on the Antarctic continent.

None. Mining is not allowed under The Antarctic Treaty.

In addition, the extreme cold prohibits any sustained employment of mechanical, engine-driven equipment. Gasoline and engine internals freeze there: mining is not practical in this polar environment.

Though Australia may have claimed a large portion of it in the past, no country can lay claim to any portion of Antarctica. It is administered by international agreement whereby all countries on application can have equal access to it.

One example is the husky dogs that were used as working animals by some researchers and explorers. It was thought that these dogs could transmit diseases to breeding seals, or break free and attack breeding animals, so the dogs were banned in April 1994. The guideline is available in Annex II to the Environmental Protocol, an appendix to the Antarctic Treaty.

Otherwise, there are no casually introduced species on the continent, because the continent cannot support animal life.

no countries make up Antarctica

Antarctica just makes up Antarctica

There is a distance of 3302.8 miles between Ushuaia in Argentina and Antarctica. This would take approximately 106.31 hours to travel in a vehicle traveling at 50 kilometers per mile.

No. It's too cold and there is no food chain in Antarctica for any animal.
