Antarctica

Antarctica has no countries because it is governed by the Antarctic Treaty (1960). The treaty dedicates all land on earth south of 60 degrees S to science. The science studies the health of our planet.

Governments representing 80% of the earth's population have signed or ratified the treaty.

yes it would be because you would dehydrate and there would not be alot of food for you to eat bye i love u all thanks please subscribe on conner Maynard's song Vegas girl

Antarctica is south of all continents on earth.

No. It's too cold there to support any kind of food chain to support any kind of animal.

Antarctica has no land in the northern hemisphere.

Antarctica is not a tourist destination in the traditional sense. It has no tourist facilities, hotels or airports. A few airlines fly over Antarctica to show you the sights, then fly back to where they came from without landing. At least one company runs mountain climbing expeditions, but they make it clear that you need to be experienced and capable and fit enough to endure the rigours or polar mountaineering. Unless you are engaged in some sort of research with a large government grant, you really have no business being there.

Blue Whales can be found in almost every sea and ocean in the world. They were the most widely spread whale species until Man started hunting them down. They were once in numbers of around 200,000 or more and now there are only 20,000 or so animals left in the wild.

They can be found in areas that are abundant in "Krill" their favorite prey species.

They don't live in family groups. They are solitary animals. They are known to be along one or two individuals at most and that too only for short periods of time.

There may be people who consider +5 degrees Celsius to be hot, but I am not one of them. 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.

because if it melted it would cause global warming and kill every 1.

they travel by boat or they could travel by walking

Sir ernest shackleton survived when his boat sank by jumping off the boat and collecting everthing they needed off the boat and sir ernest told his crew to get off the boat before it sank.

All scientific work done in Antarctica studies the health of planet earth. Research occurs here because this is a continent dedicated to science, and details are shared among governments representing 80% of the earth's population.

No. Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, subscribed to by governments representing 80% of the population of planet earth.

A few of these countries make land claims on the continent, some of which overlap, and which are invalidated by the treaty. The treaty also disallows any future claims.

USA makes no territorial claims on the Antarctic continent.

Antarctica is not a country -- it is a continent without sovereignty. There is no native or permanent population there to develop social customs.

Generally, your answer depends on your Antarctic destination.

You can reach the continent by way of New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, even South Africa.

The quickest way to get from London to Antarctica would be to fly:

* London, UK - Hong Kong, China: 11.5-12.25 hours depending on the airline and aircraft There is usually about a 2 hour minimum stop in Hong Kong.

* Hong Kong, China - Auckland, New Zealand - Christchurch, New Zealand: 14-18 hours depending on the aircraft and on flight connection times from Auckland. * Christchurch, New Zealand - McMurdo Sound, Antarctica: 5 or 7-8 hours depending on the aircraft. Note that the flights to Antarctica require you to be wearing Antarctic Clothing. This is specialized clothing and is issued a few days before the flight so a few days are required in Christchurch before travelling on to Antarctica.

(The Antarctic Clothing issued will take up about 9kg of the 34kg baggage allowance per person allowed on this flight.)

Everywhere south of the Antarctic Circle, the landscape experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset annually.

At the northernmost Antarctic Peninsula, there may be a number of days without a sunrise/ sunset; at the South Pole, the sun rises about September 21 and sets about March 21.

No. Ninety-eight percent of the continent is covered with an ice sheet. In fact, the continent itself is inaccessible by water when the Southern Ocean freezes, between about February and November each year.

The South Pole may be surrounded by the continent of Antarctica, which in turn is surrounded by the Southern Ocean, and the nearest drop of water in that ocean is at least 750 miles distant from the Pole.

No penguins live permanently on the continent: penguins are sea birds that live at sea.

However, at least two types of penguins breed on Antarctica's beaches, the Emperor and the Adelie.

Above all answers, the most important one is that the amount of Penguins will become very less or mostly Extinct.

If Antarctica was destroyed, the temperature of the earth will rapidly rise and USA will have temperature of maybe 500 degrees F. The deserts would change into Fires and the water level will rise.......... and cities will be flooded.

the temperature of the surroundings will increase.If THE WHOLE antarctica is destroyed it shows that global warming is getting worst...

The only vegetation in Antarctica is grown from seeds and soil brought especially for the purpose. A greenhouse or similar structure is needed. When I was a Pole Station in 1963, We made an indoor enclosure of plexiglass about 2 ft wide, 4 ft long and 4 ft high. Set up light bulbs on a time switch. We grew a few vegetables, but not much.
