Antarctica

The Mt. Erebus disaster occurred on November 28, 1979, because the wrong coordinates were put into the planes computer navigation system. It was flying low for sightseeing purposes because it was thought to be on the correct path. The pilots could not see the mountain due to white out conditions.

Disciplines pursued may include biology, botany, atmospherics, glaciology, psychology, geology, astronomy and more. Every funded scientist asks questions based on a better understanding of the health of planet earth.

The Southern Ocean -- which surrounds the continent, is the most productive ocean on earth. A few animals are commonly seen in that ocean, especially during breeding season, These include sea mammals and sea birds, such as Weddell Seals, Orcas, penguins and Blue Whales.

Note that no animals live on the continent: It's too cold and there is no food chain.

The Southern Ocean (also known as the Great Southern Ocean, Antarctic Ocean, South Polar Ocean, and Austral Ocean) comprises the southernmost waters of the World Ocean, generally taken to be south of 60°S latitude and encircling Antarctica.

Dumont D'Urville is French -- Base Dumont d'Urville -- and is located at 66°39′46″S 140°0′07″E on the Antarctic continent.

Antarctica is a desert with about five percent humidity. This means that very low amounts of moisture are available to be frozen into glaciers.

The Southern Ocean which surrounds the Antarctic continent -- according to Wikipedia:

"The Southern Ocean's greatest depth of 7,236 m (23,740 ft) occurs at the southern end of the South Sandwich Trench, at 60°00'S, 024°W. "

There is no development of Antarctica.

The continent is covered -- 98% of it -- with an ice sheet. All land and ice south of 60 degrees S is protected by the Antarctic Treaty, which dedicates that area to the scientific study of the health of planet earth -- and forbids development or commerce of any kind.

Your answer is in your question. No non-sea bird, or non-sea mammal lives in Antarctica -- in fact, no animal lives on the continent: it's too cold and there is no food chain.

Sea mammals and sea birds, however, do breed on Antarctica's beaches. These animals 'live' in the sea.

The liquid sea is generally warmer than the ambient continental temperature, even on the coasts. This is true except for the Antarctic Peninsula, where surface temperatures can exceed freezing.

These temperatures are normal habitat for these animals.

Antarctica is a continent surrounded by the Southern Ocean.

Antarctica is land covered in snow and ice. The icecap is a bit bigger than the the size of the land.

The ice on Antarctica is on average more than 2 kilometres deep (7000 feet). If this all melted the sea levels around the world would rise by 61 metres (200 feet).

All facilities built in all research stations are considered 'human features' on the continent.

Extreme cold, hurricane force winds, crevasses, no sun rises for days, weeks or months, lack of any form of survivable landscape assets, extreme dryness -- all are dangerous for humans in Antarctica.

That would be the Atlantic Ocean. Pacific is on the other side, by California. Pacific

No. It's too cold and there is no irrigation possible.

However, on some research stations, hydroponic gardening does occur, growing edibles. This follows the rules of the Antarctic Treaty.

Antarctica is large (1.4 times the size of the USA and 58 times the size of the UK)
Greenland, physiographically is part of the continent of North America and is small enough to be considered an island.

No, no nation owns any part of Antarctica. Several nations have territorial claims on the continent -- not USA, however -- some of which overlap each other. The Antarctic Treaty (1960) holds all claims in abeyance and forbids any other future claims.

Antarctica is sometimes considered the driest place on earth, so it is drier than all the other deserts of the world, except for the Atacama in South America where it is drier than most of the Antarctic land. There are few places in Antarctica, however, that are just as dry or maybe even drier than the Atacama.

No. Antarctica is a continent and eels are sea creatures. Antarctic eelpouts found in the Southern Ocean, in fact, have been discovered to possess special variants of anti-freeze peptides.

No one actually owns Antarctica. France would only own bases that it has on the continent. I suggest looking up the Antarctic Treaty, whihc features alot more information than what I can give you.
