Antarctica

As a result of Australia's pioneering work in Antarctica, 42% of the continent was established as the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) in 1936. In 1947, the Australian Government formed the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE) to set up and maintain scientific research stations in Antarctica. ANARE participants come from various Federal and State government bodies as well as universities.

Australia shares its Antarctic Territory with other countries, notably Russia, who has a number of stations in the AAT.

There is no industry in Antarctica. The continent is preserved under The Antarctic Treaty, as a continent dedicated to science.

East and West Antarctica are separated by an imaginary line, so they are neighbors.

Mt Erebus is located about 3,864 km (2,415 miles) south of Christchurch, New Zealand, which is the nearest city,

The purpose of the Protocol was essentially to protect Antarctica for 50 years from commercial exploitation primarily of its mineral wealth, The Protocol was signed in 1991, and came into force in 1998, so this means that Antarctica is safe from commercial exploitation until 2048.

You can locate Davis Station using 68.5764° S, 77.9689° E and locate the South Pole using 90° S, 0° E. Converting latitude to miles means that the distance is 1,285 miles -- if you travel in a straight line.

That point would be located in the "armpit" of Africa, about 270 miles south of Accra, Ghana, and 60 miles east.

Gulf of Guinea, 325 miles south-southeast of Accra.

because it will erode the cliffs and mountaintops of the continent, the broken away ice will then melt raising the water level and causing global flooding

Because she wanted to make a point

One hundred percent of Antarctica is, and only about two percent of the continent is not covered by its ice sheet.

If you wanted to mount an expedition, you could find equipment manufacturers who may want to sponsor you. Their product line should include gear for extreme cold weather.

In the same way as anywhere else.

People look for the right sedimentary rocks and dig or just pick up a loose rock and look closely, sometimes needing to split the rock open.

Your answer depends on the route you take, your ultimate destination on the Antarctic continent, and how you plan to cross the Southern Ocean with a car.

No human being lives in Antarctica, except for scientist studying things there, but they too do not live there.

The highest point on the continent is Vinson Massif with an elevation of 16,050' (4,892 m).

Building buildings off the ground in Antarctica allows the katabatic winds, which are constant, to blow ice crystals under the building and this technique prevent snow drifts.

(Even though the snow drifts are fairly easy to shovel out -- there is very little humidity thus very little moisture in the snow ((it squeaks when you walk on it)) -- shoveling out the drifts does take time away from the work at hand.)

I have read a few articles, and it seems that people used to eat these fish for protein. It is not too clear, though.

no they live in the coast of alaska parts of Canida, the Unided States and the northern part of Mexico

This area is the Antarctic Peninsula. You can read about its climate, below.

For thier coat and for thier flubber, which makes oil.

Yes.

The only commercial travel to Antarctica is by Antarctic cruise ship.

Your first expense will be to pay for a round trip ticket from home to Ushuaia, Argentina and back home. Your cruise expense for 12 days, which is the shortest cruise, begins at US$4,390.

No whales live in Antarctica -- Antarctica is a continent and whales prefer sea water.

Whales that you can find in the oceans around the continent include Orcas, Humpbacks, Minkes and others.
