Antarctica

Yes.

Argentine Antarctica, called the Department of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica, and South Atlantic Islands Province has been claimed by Argentina since 1942. The breadth of their claim is 25°W to 74°W latitude which, like all territorial claims, terminates at 90°S.

Their claim overlaps existing claims of Chile and the United Kingdom.

Argentina's claim is registered as part of the Antarctic Treaty as an existing claim, as are the overlapping claims. The treaty also prohibits any commercial activity on land south of 60° S, and dedicates this land to the scientific study of planet Earth.

Your elevation above sea level would be more than 11,000 feet, so the air would be thinner, and you could be in the most extreme cold part of planet Earth with temperatures in the minus 80s or 90s F. Your body would work hard to keep your organs warm and operable.

Antarctica is a continent, and continents are hard to 'destroy'.

Ice shelves attached to the continent, however, are being melted underneath by warming ocean waters. This causes the ice shelf to disintegrate eventually.

Vinson Massif is 4,892m or 16,050ft high

All of the earth south of the Antarctic Circle experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise each year. The periods begin in the austral fall season.

The continent of Antarctica covers 10% of the earth's surface, and the number of 24-hour periods with no sunrise depends on how far south you are located.

At the South Pole, this period is about six months.

Well you've heard of the north and south pole right? well, Antarctica (south pole) is at the bottom of the earth- there, there is hardly any sun causing it to be a cold place. Ice forms because of the cold. The same happens with the north pole. The way the earth faces when it orbits the sun means that those two poles don't get much sun- but global warming is melting these poles, if the ice caps melt then the whole world could be flooded. Global warming is when our atmosphere is being ruined by pollution,cow flatulence etc.

It would be a good idea to research global warming in depth because it is a very large, opinionated subject.

The Antarctic ice sheet covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent and at 27 million cubic km is the largest single mass of ice on Earth (90% of all the ice on Earth). This ice represents approximately 61% of all the fresh water on the Earth.

There are no animals that 'live' in Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.

Several types of sea mammals and sea birds do come to Antarctica's beaches, to breed. No seals or penguins are listed on the World Wildlife Endangered list.

A biologist with a government grant would be working on a research question of his or her choosing. The life and living organisms under study could be sea animals or sea birds available around the beaches during breeding season.

Not all of the Antarctic ice sheet has been measured for depth. At the South Pole, the depth of the ice is 2,700 meters or 9,000 feet; at Vostok, the depth of the ice is 3,488 meters or 11,444 feet.

The thickness of the continent varies, depending on the location.

Nation states make territorial claims in order to expand their sphere of influence, provide for access to natural resources, potentially designate homesteading options for citizens, increase tax opportunities and generally grow themselves.

Answer

Hi Wildlife in Antarctica will eventually become extinct if all the ice melts from global warming, as the temperatures would be too high for them to handle and there would be no land mass cold enough for them to exist on. Unless they manage to evolve in time (which is not likely), this would be the result. bye

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.
