There is litlle plant life in Antartica because the temperautes in Antartica are not what the plants need and the lack of rain so only plants like Mossess can manage to live whilst if you had a plant thats found commonly in Australia it would die. (By Jonathan)

Should there be tourism in Antarctica?

I strongly believe that there should not be tourism because it is causing pollution which is spreading into the air and birds are inhaling it and other sea life.

It is true to say that Antarctica is a unique contient where you can experience the magnificient wildlife.

Sir Ernest Shackelton was an explorer that wanted to travel across Antarctica by feet with his men.




Shackleton


My favourite explorer was Shackleton because he was a great man who travelled around Antarctica and inspired many people.
