Where is a country in Antarctica?

Answer 1

Antarctica is a continent situated in the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent, overlying the South Pole. There are miles of snow and ice, yet comparatively little snow falls each year, especially on the interior. It is only by centuries of accumulation that the ice sheet has been formed. Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered by its ice sheet: there is land underneath the ice, unlike the Arctic where the sea ice floats on top of an ocean.

Antarctica contains about seven million cubic miles of ice, more than 90% of the ice and 75% of the fresh water in the world.

Antarctica has been designated an international scientific preserve, which cannot by claimed as territory by any single country.

Mining and military installations are prohibited under the Antarctic Treaty of 1959.

Antarctica means 'Anti-Arktos' meaning the opposite of the arctic. (Arktos is greek for bear, meaning that 'Arctic' means bear.)

Antarctica is a continent covering about 10% of the earth's surface. It is covered by a polar ice sheet containing about 70% of the earth's fresh water.

Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean and is the highest, driest, darkest, windiest, coldest and iciest continent on earth.
