Antarctica

No. No polar bears are naturally found in the Antarctic. They are only found in the Arctic. If they were found anywhere else it would be in a zoo, such as in Toronto, Canada, Germany, Denmark, England, some American zoos, and others.

the two main reasons to research Antarctica is first, the ice under the surface is a time-line of the earth's atmosphere. Antarctica is a dessert and little precipitation and allows for a graphic time-line when drilled out in cores. Secondly, the atmosphere around the poles is important in measuring the global warming and the fear of the rising oceans because of glacial melting.

All 'high, flat pieces of land' in Antarctica are covered with ice. One notable flat area of ice is called the polar plateau.

There are no countries in Antarctica.

Informally, the standard language of science -- Antarctica is a continent dedicated to science -- is English. The second language of science is French.

they poo and wee and leave litter which causepollution which contributes to thre green house gas which contributes to the ozone hole.

No. It is too cold in Antarctica for tornadoes.

Refrigerators in Antarctica, as opposed to anywhere else in the world, warm, not cool. This is because it is so cold there, that in order to keep food edible, it needs to be stored in warm temperatures.

You drink what you would elsewhere. (The antarctic base DOES have heating)

Every government that supports a research station on the continent has a different set of rules for actions that are not allowed by the temporary workers who live there. Mostly, the rules prevent accidents, injury and death based on the extreme environment.

For example, confinement to market trails for walks, guidelines for working outside given the ambient temperature and wind-chill, and a strict guideline for avoiding all wildlife.

If a tourist, guidelines generally focus on leaving a small footprint on the continent and packing out whatever you pack in.

Antarctica and the Sahara are both very dry, so they are both classified as deserts.

All eco-tourism has esentially the same impacts:

* Humans are brought into contact with animals which stresses the animals

* Humans leave trash * The infrastructure (boats, hotels, roads, skidos etc.) impacts the environment * Humans feed animals and the animals become dependent on human supplied food * Humans get themselves in danger (lost, hurt or eaten) which requires massive intervention * Foreign species can be imported or exported by the tourists * Humans start to think of animals as "just exhibits" for their pleasure * There have been oil and fuel spillings that have made pollution

Yes and No...... Antarctica is not forbidden in a way because we are still allowed to go there but it is forbidden because it is scary in a way because glaciers might break and you can get trapped somewhere.....

Antarctica is not known for its rivers, since 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet.

Seasonal, glacial melt-water run off does occur, and for example, the Onyx River flows about 32 miles during the 24/7 summer sun.

McMurdo Station was established by the United States on February 16, 1956.

Antarctica is a continent where you can find the South Pole. There are no nations there, but you can find research stations there that operate under the Antarctic Treaty and all facilitate scientific study of the health of planet earth.

Seven nations have claimed sovereignty over various sections of the continent, but the claims are all held in abeyance by the Antarctic Treaty (1961), which as well prohibits new territorial claims. Some of the existing claims overlap each other.

At more than 14,000,000 km2, it is the fifth largest continent, and is about 1.5 times the area of Europe. Antarctica is a desert. It is the coldest, driest, windiest and highest (on average) continent on earth. The ice sheet averages one mile in thickness, and the dryness is based on an annual average precipitation of less than five inches. The ice contains about 70% of the earth's store of fresh water.

There is little or no sun on Antarctica for about six months each year.

Camouflage use in Antarctica may be useful for being seen, which is the opposite of the purpose of camouflage. It is not widely issued as standard gear, however: solid colours being more visible.

There are no land mammals in Antarctica.

The only mammals are the marine mammals, such as certain species of seals, e.g. the Southern Elephant seal, Crabeater, Antarctic Fur, Leopard, Ross and Weddell seals.

Whales known to frequent the Antarctic waters include the Blue whale, Fin, Humpback, Minke, Orca, Southern Right, Sei and Sperm whales.

the Weddell Sea

You can see wildlife in Antarctica during breeding season, without the benefit of bars.

One could say that Antarctica is a natural zoo.

Krill are sea creatures and do not live on Antarctica, which is a continent.

The temperature of the liquid water is warmer than the ambient air above the surface. The Southern Ocean is the normal habitat for krill.

if too many scientist started to work in Antarctica they would need to look for resources which would mean possibly damaging the ecosystem, as well as the habitat for many animals.

The antarctic ecosystem is quite fragile so it could be disrupted easily.

You may be thinking of Queen Maud Land, which was the first area of Antarctica to be sighted in 1820, by Fabian von Bellingshausen. The name honours Queen Maud of Wales. It was labeled as such in January 1930. She was the wife of the then-reigning Norwegian King Haakon VII, according to its Wikipedia entry.

Depending on the logistical equipment available to any country serving its research stations, the options can include military transport, cargo transport, or extreme weather-capable equipment.
