Secrets Of The Northern Freezing Field

What I mean by the above title is Antarctica. Some of you will say it's just a plain desert of ice filled with penguins and nothing but glaciers. It's more than that. Antarctica has been awarded by being the coldest, highest, driest, and other -est awards (^_^).


What makes it special ??

1. More than 95% of Antarctica is covered in ice. Not only just ice, but pure ice and snow and also it contains 90% of world's fresh water. It's because of the isolation of the world activities, making it untouchable by pollution.

2. You'll find the coldest place on earth in Antarctica. The lowest temperature record is reached in Antarctica (-88.3 celcius degrees) in 1960

3. No rain ever hits Antarctica since the end of Pleistocene Age, about 1.000.000 years ago. Therefore, it can be classified as true desert.

4. Little found about the types of animals of plants there. Penguins must be the only land creatures in Antarctica, with the population over 12 million. Only 2 species of flowering plants were found and logically no flying insects.


5. Beautiful skies directly pointed to space, and unpredictably site location of meteoric samples.

There are still many more sites and mysteries in Antarctica that need to be solved.
