The oceans that surround Antarctica are the coldest on earth, and the most productive on earth.
Scientists continue to study the question you ask, because so far, there's no clear answer. We we have learned, however, is that most life lives longer in cooler temperatures than at hotter temperatures.

Why is the ocean and seas surrounding Antarctica so rich in marine life?
The protein-rich Southern Ocean is so rich because the food chain there is abundant. The food chain is short, and for months out of the year the ocean is frozen over, which removes some of the larger predators from the food chain.
What sorts of wild live is in Antarctica?

How is marine life in antarctica?
Marine life in Antarctica is diverse and unique, with species adapted to the extreme cold temperatures. Iconic animals include penguins, seals, whales, and krill. The ecosystem is sensitive to climate change and human impact, making conservation efforts crucial for preserving this delicate environment.

How many species of seal life in antarctica?
Seals are marine animals. Antarctica is a continent. Seals that live in the Southern Ocean include Leopard seals and Weddell seals.
Who or what is an Antarctica dweller?
