Antarctica

The process of maintaining the cold chain when heat sensitive items are stored

and transported in the reverse direction i.e. upwards from the clinic to a depot or

laboratory. This process is also used for transporting specimen samples.

Antarctica is the 5th largest continent. Africa - 30,300,000 sq km

Antarctica - 14,000,000 sq km

Asia - 44,700,000 sq km

Australia - 7,686,850 sq km

Europe - 9,940,000 sq km

North America - 24,360,000 sq km

South America - 17,770,000 sq km

The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica. The Atlantic Ocean surrounds the southern tip of South Africa. There is little agreement regarding where the border lies between these two oceans.

There is no mining in Antarctica. It is forbidden by the Antarctic Treaty.

Researchers conduct their work during the summer season in Antarctica -- October to February. Otherwise, workers who remain work in support of science the rest of the year.

There is no indigenous population in Antarctica.

Very little of Antarctica's precipitation falls to the ground in the form of snow. in April, most of the continent has experienced its last sunset of the season, the wind blows constantly, and any precipitation is probably in the form of ice crystals or 'diamond dust'.

Antarctica is a continent of approximately 14,000,000 sq km.

The Transantarctic Mountains divide Antarctica into east and west.

East Antarctica constitutes the bulk of the land mass and is the oldest part of the continent.

West Antarctica is the newer and smaller area which includes the Antarctic Peninsula and consists of four land areas separated by deep water.

Since the South Pole is located on top of more than 10,000 feet of ice, and is inland about 750 Km, there are no animals that live there, except human scientists and humans in support of science. They work at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station. Term of service is limited to 12 months.

No animals live on the Antarctic continent, but there are animals that come to its beaches to breed. These include several kinds of penguins, Weddell and Leopard seals, Skuas, and some Terns.

There is no natural food chain in Antarctica.

If you are a temporary worker or a scientist working temporarily in Antarctica, the country that supports the station will limit the time you can remain 'on the ice' continuously. For example, the National Science Foundation that represents the scientific work of the USA, requires that a person must take 'R&R' off the ice for about six weeks after 12 months of service before returning for another tour.

No, moths are not naturally found in Antarctica. Should a moth be brought onto the continent, it would not survive, because there is no food source there for moths.

leopard seal, crabeater seal, elephant seal - live in the Antartica.

There is no infrastructure there, no place to shop, or live, or work, or to support human life in any way.

However, there are people who volunteer to support science and serve their countries by living in Antarctica for short periods, up to six or 12 months at a time for some citizens.

Nations support scientific stations there, because Antarctica is a continent dedicated to science.

Nothing, Antarctica was unknown to the ancient Greeks

a place where there is nothing but ice

Admiral Byrd named his bases Little America.

Major populations of penguins are found in: Antarctica, Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, and South Africa. Some live as far north as the Galápagos Islands.

No country has even owned any of Antarctica.

In the 1960s, governments representing about 80% of the world's population signed the Antarctic Treaty, which governs the earth south of 60 degrees South Latitude, including the continent of Antarctica.

The "Circumpolar Current" is the longest ocean current in the world and flows in an easterly direction.

Antarctica is larger than Australia. Australia is the smallest continent.

Antarctica is a continent as large as USA and Mexico combined, so there is no exact answer for the entire continent.

Everywhere south of the Antarctic Circle, the geogrphy experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise -- and conversely, no sunset. So the number of 24-hour periods varies, depending on where you are on the continent.

At the South Pole, the most extreme location from the Antarctic Circle, the sun rises and sets once per year, so that the sun shines for six months and does not shine for six months.

Yes, Pakistani researchers. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is the only Muslim country that maintains a research station in Antarctica and it has maintained a presence there since 1991.

So to answer your question: Yes, there are Muslims in Antarctica. Hope this helped.

Sharks, huge fish, whales, penguins, arctic tern, seals, Antarctic skua....etc
