Antarctica

Others may have a different definition of this phrase, but it's possible that having lived 'on the ice' for a period, a human is hungry to see greenery: feast their eyes on growing botany.

Mr Erebus is an active volcano in a polar climate. There is no fauna on Mt Erebus, and in fact, no fauna on the continent of Antarctica.

Shackleton led two successful expeditions, but the most famous one he led was his third, when his ship, the Endurance, got trapped in a rapidly expanding ice floe. They hoped that the ice flow would break up and they could continue the expedition, but instead the needed to abandon ship because it began to leak. They then hoped that the ice floe would drift to Paulette Island.

It didn't, but then the ice floe broke in two and they abandoned it, using their lifeboats. Three days later they made it to an uninhabited island, Elephant Island.

Shackleton decided to outfit their best lifeboat for a trip to South Georgia, an island with a whaling station. He made the trip with five other men, and arrived their after fifteen days, but couldn't make it to land because of a storm so powerful that it sunk a 500 ton steamship. The next day, they made it to the shore opposite of the whaling stations. Shackleton and two of his men crossed the mountains to get help.

They got to the whaling station 36 hours later, and got help for the three men on the other side of the island right away. There were three failed attempts to rescue the men on Elephant Island, but they finally succeeded on August 20, 1916, after an ordeal of nearly 20 months.

There are no fruits that grow in Antarctica; nothing grows there. It's too cold.

Well first of all, you're not talking about a part of a 'country', because there are

no countries on the Antarctic continent.

If the Antarctic Peninsula is actually warmer than the rest of the continent, which

seems reasonable when you look at a map, it's because that part of the continent

is the part farthest north, that is, the part farthest from the south pole, and actually

extending slightly into the south Temperate Zone.

The total distance from Chile to Antarctica is 4,152 miles, or 6,682 kilometres. The total distance from New Zealand to Antarctica is 3,394 miles, or 5,461 kilometres. Therefore, New Zealand is closer to Antarctica than Chile is.

You could fly over Antarctica any time you have access to an airplane with the range to take off, fly over the continent and return to the point of departure.

You would see more if you chose to take this flight between about October and February, when there is daylight across most of the continent.

Antarctica has the highest "average" elevation of all the continents due to the ice pack, and it has the lowest elevation of all the continents getting down to 1.5 km below sea level.

use fuel and burn the snow into a liquid texture

Emperor Penguins do not live on the Antarctic continent. Penguins are sea birds and live at sea.

Emperor Penguins do visit Antarctica's beaches, however to breed.

I think only the Arctic!!! :)

well see it depends.. if we Indian reach there.. wid our cars.. we will do it.. on left side.. and if bloody Americans did. they will on right.. but i doubt they will.. 1st as.. they are the worst in geography.. they might reach artic instread.. :)

Because its so cold, almost nothing can grow there. Underneath the snow is a land that is bare all over, so its a desert.

There are no wolves in Austalia, but there are wild dogs related to wolves

Antarctica doesn't have the resources to provide enough nutrients for trees. Small shrubs thrive there better than trees.

on the ice of course lol they live all around antarctica

People who live and work in Antarctica -- temporarily -- earn money working in support of science, or as scientists.

No, Antarctica is a continent dedicated to peace and science.

More than 80% of the ocean remains unexplored.

One of the biggest challenges of ocean exploration comes down to physics. Dr. Gene Carl Feldman, an oceanographer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, explains that the ocean, at great depths, is characterized by zero visibility, extremely cold temperatures, and crushing amounts of pressure.

“In some ways, it’s a lot easier to send people into space than it is to send people to the bottom of the ocean,” Feldman told Oceana. “The intense pressures in the deep ocean make it an extremely difficult environment to explore.”

They eat what they have around them in their surrondings like wild deer, cow, chicken etc.

Yes we should exploit Antarctica, although many people think that we should conserve Antarctica as it is the last untouched and unpolluted continent, it is an extremely remote continent with no permanent residence. There is no wildlife around the centre of Antarctica therefore meaning we could easily exploit around the centre without effecting wildlife or the environment

Antarctica does not continent any countries. However, many countries have claimed land in Antarctica, although these claims are virtually unrecognized.

In 1908, United Kingdom clamied the British Antarctic Territory, limited to 20°W to 80°W.

In 1923, New Zealand claimed the Ross Dependency, limited to 150°W to 160°E

In 1924, France claimed Adélie Land, limited to 142°2′E to 136°11′E

In 1929, Norway claimed Peter I Island, limited to 68°50′S, 90°35′W

In 1933, Australia claimed Australian Antarctic Territory, limited to 160°E to 142°2′E and 136°11′E to 44°38′E

In 1939, Norway claimed Queen Maud Land, limited to 44°38′E to 20°W

In 1940, Chile claimed Antarctic Chilean Territory, limited to 53°W to 90°W

In 1943, Argentina claimed Argentine Antarctica, limited to 25°W to 74°W

The United States and Russia reserve the right to make claims in the future.
