This week and last week we have been learning about Antarctica. We had to write a description about Antarctica . The reason why we are writing about Antarctica is because a few weeks ago we went to the Antarctic Center.
Antarctica is a cold place in the world where you would probably die if you are only wearing 1 layer of clothing. Antarctica is the coldest, iciest, biggest, driest and whitest continent in the world . It is also known as the Icy desert.
When you go to Antarctica you have to where at least 4 layers of special clothing because it is freezing cold. The coldest temperature in Antarctica is -89.2 C and the hottest temperature in Antarctica is -17.5 C. 90% of the world's freshwater is in Antarctica. The first person to explore Antarctica was Roald Amundsen and the first person to discover Antarctica was Captain James Cook and his crew. James cook and his crew sailed around the Antarctic circle on a boat. There are about 4,000 people who go to Antarctica in the Summer and about 1,000 people in winter each year.
Antarctica is the Earth's southernmost continent. It is located in the South Pole. It's almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle. Around Antarctica is the Southern Ocean.
