PLACE

ANTARTICA

                          Antarica or the south pole is certainly located on the southest part of the earth. The Antartica is one of the biggest continent in the earth, it’s size almost as big as the whole america continent. It’s land mostly consist of rocks and ice.

                          Antartica is really cold, it could be proven without the thermometers things but we can assume that antarica is cold by learning the livings. Even though we know there is many animals, mostly mammals, but actually the Antartica is full of micro organisms who already adapt to its level of extreme cold.

                          After we assume Antartica is cold, we all the lover of scientific things surely not pleased by only assumptions, we need facts and numbers.

Why cold?

                          The South Pole tends to get significantly less sunlight than other places, this is similar to the North pole too. Less sunlight means it gets cold. In addition the permanent ice cap reflects a large amount of sunlight. Also Antarctica is on average the highest continent and so temperature decreases with altitude.

How cold exactly

                          At the South Pole, the highest temperature ever recorded was −12.3 °C (9.9 °F) on 25 December 2011. Along the Antarctic Peninsula, temperatures as high as 15 °C (59 °F) have been recorded, though the summer temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) most of the time.

Can we visit?

                          No, i mean we could, but dont. It proven that Antartica is not a friendly place especially for humans, and more especially for... someone who’s not important. No one have the Antartica but it seems like they dont like us going there.
