Antarctica‚ also known as the "coldest and windiest place on earth"‚ is home to the lowest temperature ever recorded at 89.2 degree Celsius. With historic winds recorded at speeds over three hundred and twenty miles per hour‚ this area is unbearable for almost all habitats. Most commonly recognized as the fifth largest continent on this planet‚ this giant freezing mass is place over the South Pole with a total surface area of about fifteen million square kilometers. However‚ this figure fluctuates

in Australia’s temperature. Cretaceous period (144-65mya): During this period Australia separated from Gondwana but was still attached to Antarctica and was drifting south rapidly. North Australia experienced warm weather and South Australia experienced cool weather. Tasmania became covered by water due to sea levels rising and ice caps formed in Antarctica‚ Evidence of this can be found through the carbon dating of ice caps that can be dated back to the cretaceous period. Quaternary period (2

was to become the first explorers to land on the Antarctic continent as well as cross it. The original plan was to sail Endurance through the Weddell Sea and then use dogs and sledges to support the crew of six men to march on the opposite side of Antarctica. However‚ their ship became trapped in the pack ice of the Weddell Sea‚ before they could reach the Antarctic coast. For more than eight months‚ they drifted helplessly with the ocean currents that carried them to over 670 miles north. Attempts

in regard to the climate. The film contains a copious amount of fascinating information. Personally‚ the aspects which stand out most to me are: the examination of annual temperature and CO2 levels for the past 650‚000‚ the melting ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland‚ and Philip Cooney. The most visually striking and memorable element of the film was Gore’s impressive graph of the Earth’s temperature and CO2 levels for the past 650‚000. The chart not only illustrated the past but an alarming

Antarctica is a frozen land‚ so cold and icy that no trees can grow there. Yet scientists have discovered fossils (remains preserved in rock) of ancient trees in Antarctica. What do you think this means? That Antarctica was once a part of the continents & it was separated by continental drift. 2. The Himalayas in central Asia are the tallest mountains in
