Antarctica is a continent that occupies 10% of the earth's surface; it is as large as USA and Mexico, combined.

Seasonal averages may range from the coldest temperature ever measured on earth -- in the minus 80 degrees C, to a tropical 2 degrees above zero C.

Needless to say, Antarctica's average temperature is substantially below freezing most of the time.
