Antarctica




  Satellite View
The Antarctic continent is
located in the South Pole of
our Planet.

Its geography, climate and
biological conditions
provide a unique
enviroment.
Antarctica has the lowest
temperatures in our planet reaching

70° Celsius below zero with winds
of 300 km. Per hour.

Containing 90% of the planet’s ice
it’s the major reserve of fresh water
on Earth.
About 99% of Antarctica is covered
with ice at an average thicknes of
2,500 meters, reaching in some places
  as deep as 4,776 meters.

If the ice layer would melt all the
Earth’s Oceans would rise 70 meters
above the actual level.
The Antarctic Continent functions
as one of Earth’s “refrigerators”
regulating the oceanic currents and
the world’s climate.

Any significant enviromental
impact would alter the global
patterns of weather with disastrous
consecuences.
In spite of the severe weather
Antarctica has rich animal life
amazingly well adapted to the
harsh conditions.
The arrival of the first tourists in the 50’s
was a main cause of enviromental
concern.

Strict rules and regulations were created
as to protect the ecology of the
enviroment from the visitors such as
creating restricted zones , mantain a safe
distance from the wild life, do not feed
nor touch the animals, and rigid control of
waste disposal.
During the summer months
  (being the pick of the season in
 January) there is daylight almost
24 hours a day while in winter the
days remain on a prolonging half
light or penumbra during most of
           the 24 hours.
