Antarctica

Antarctica is realatively untouched by human activity. Bringing tourism to Antarctica would in time cause damage to Antarctica. To support tourism (besides cruise ships) facilities would have to be constructed thereby damaging the environment. Humans cause pollution which would damage the environment and kill wildlife.

No, it is actually an ice sheet or ice cap. 98% of Antarctica is buried under ice, in places more than 12,000 feet thick. Antarctica has many glaciers, including those that push into the Southern Ocean along its shores. Even larger structures, the ice shelves, extend into the ocean for many kilometers.

Breakfast choices in Antarctica depend on the research station. The food and food stuffs imported to feed workers is based on national dietary standards.

There are no paved roads or dirt roads commonly seen on every other continent.

In Antarctica, 'roads' are traveled pathways, often marked on the ice by bamboo poles that fly flags, which are installed about every 10 feet, and which are most commonly used by pedestrians.

There is no travel in Antarctica which is familiar on every other continent: movement is generally confined to the few square kilometers within which a research station is located.

destroy every factory in the world and pollution causing stuff.

Because at the ends / poles of the earth the sun's energy arrives at an oblique angle, spreading over a larger area, and also travels a longer distance through the Earth's atmosphere in which it may be absorbed, scattered or reflected.

Antarctica is not 'split up'. The surface of the continent is trans-sected by the Trans-Antarctic Mountain Range, and often this demarcation separates east from west Antarctica.

Nation-states have laid claim to Antarctic territory, in pie-shaped 'slices' that follow lines of longitude, all of which converge at the South Pole. Some of these claims overlap each other The Antarctic Treaty acknowledges all claims and holds them in abeyance, and prohibits future claims.

Assuming you mean "What is located in the center of Antarctica" the answer is most likely to be - the South Pole.

The continent of Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean.

Whales feed in the Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica, for one main reason: the food source.

Yes, if you consider the Trans-Antarctic mountain range to be the dividing line between these two geographies.

Similarities They both have very cold temperatures, particularly Antarctica. Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth They're both large islands, but you could fit around five Greenlands into Antarctica. Antarctica is the largest island in the world, followed by Australia They're both mostly in one of the circle, but they both go out of that circle Neither of them touch the tropics Differences Greenland is entirely in the Northern Hemisphere, and Antarctica is entirely in the Southern Hemisphere Whatever season it is in Greenland, it's always the opposite season in Antarctica, and whatever season it is in Antarctica, it's always the opposite season in Greenland They're both very far away from the equator. Greenland isn't the most northerly place in the world, even Northern Greenland isn't, but Antarctica is the most southerly place in the world and Antarctica touches the South Pole, but Greenland doesn't touch the North Pole. The Arctic Ocean touches the North Pole, so the South Pole is covered by frozen land of Antarctica, but the North Pole is covered by frozen saltwater of the Arctic Ocean, so the South Pole is colder than the North Pole Greenland borders onto two oceans, the North Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, but Antarctica only borders onto one ocean, the Southern Ocean. Although Antarctica is colder than Greenland, the coast of Antarctica is warmer than the coast of Greenland. In the south coast of Tasmania which is the Southern Ocean, the beach can be lovely and warm and people relax on it, but you'd never see people in the sea because of cold currents, but the Arctic Ocean has even colder currents Greenland has a North Coast, a West Coast, a South Coast and an East Coast, but Antarctica is the only island in the world that doesn't have a North Coast, a West Coast, a South Coast and an East Coast because it covers the South Pole and there is nothing on Earth further south than the South Pole, and the same with the North Pole, nothing on Earth further north than the North Pole.

IT HAS PROVIDED 20 PERCENT AND MORE JOBS TO MALDIVIANS.

IT IS PROVIDING FOREIGN CURRENCY, 2007 PER CAPITAL 70% FROM TOURISM.

SOME EARLY ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES LIKE HANDICRAFTS GAINED IMPORTANCE.

COUNTRY HAS BECOME WELL KNOWN IN GLOBAL DUE TO TOURISM INDUSTRY.

The Drake Passage lies between Antarctica and South America.

Thermal energy exists under the continent -- as it does under all continents -- and may be the reason why there are sub-glacial lakes miles below the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent.

Research stations, however, have not installed the technology to capture this natural thermal energy use in their scientific pursuits..

Antarctica is a continent; fish exist in water.

There are various fish that can survive in the waters around Antarctica: the Southern Ocean. They thrive there because they have adapted to their environment.

Because Antarctica is a "polar" region, there is no precipitation, it has no lakes or rivers and is in fact the driest continent.

Average temperatures in the Antarctic interior get down to -70 degrees Celsius during the winter months and -35 degrees Celsius in the warmer months.

The coastal temperatures are much warmer with a range of -15 to -32 Celsius in Winter and -5 to +5 Celsius in Summer.

The interior of Antarctica is considered the world's driest desert because the extreme cold freezes water vapour out of the air.

Annual snowfall on the polar plateau is equivalent to less than 5 cm of rain.

Antarctica has some of the strongest winds on earth, with some winds reaching 320 kph.

also the lowest temperature recorded there was -82.9 degree(C) and considered as the lowest temperature reached ever

The windiest continent is Antarctica. :)

All scientific stations on Antarctica support the temporary workers and scientists who gather data there about the health of planet Earth.

There are no 'houses' in Antarctica in the classic sense of 'house'. There are dormitories and cafeteria facilities on every scientific base on the continent. Bases also have work areas, and indoor recreational facilities.

he wanted to go to antarctica for a little trip but in the end his boat got crushed by pack ice. he got his men safley back to australia.

Since there is no shopping or commercial trade in Antarctica, people who do require cash usually carry the cash of their native country and use it on the research station where they work -- for example, in the bar.

In 1989-90, American Will Steger led the International Trans-Antarctic Expedition of six men with the goal of walking across Antarctica. They began their trek in July on the Antarctic Peninsula, reached the South Pole during the Christmas holiday season, and exited from Mirny in April. They logged 3,741 miles on this expedition.
