Did you know Antarctica is a continent without any country or citizens, and therefore doesn't have any government like the other continents of the world!?.
Did you know the continent of Antarctica, as we get to see it today, was formed as a result of continental drift over the course of millions of years. It was a part of the super-continent Gondwana, alongside South America, Africa, the Indian peninsula and Australia. As Gondwana disintegrated, its fragments drifted southwards, and thus came into existence the continent of Antarctica around 25 million years ago?.

It is foolish to deny that if tourism is allowed in Antarctica then the incresed amount of co2 in the air will keep all the suns radiation and heat waves inside our atmosphere. as a consequence of the increased heat the ice and snow in antarctica will melt, destroying wildlife habitats.

I strongly believe that tourism should not be allowed in Antarctica because people can go fishing and that will increase the number of species that live in Antarctica. Once the populations increase people will soon realise that humans are destroying animal species.

I thought this group did a great job in presentating about Antartica if i didnt knew anything about Antartica and came here ill know much more this group told me about flora,fauna,animals and what climate change does.I also didnt know that Antartica had a 6 month dark season so the scientists and explorers could only stay there for 6 months.

The cold and dry conditions in the "Dry Valleys" region of Antarctica are so close to those on Mars that NASA did testing there for the Viking mission. It has not rained in the dry valleys for at least 2 million years.
