The Kingdom of Antarctica

- The Coldest, The Driest, The Desert, The Fifth-Largest

The Kingdom of Antarcticaav John Hernandez
Om The Kingdom of Antarctica

Antarctica-vast, frigid, and mysterious. This frozen continent is full with fantastic tales. Here you may find spectacular fauna, awe-inspiring scenery, and brave scientists and explorers. One of the strangest and most beautiful areas in the globe, Antarctica has no indigenous population or owner. Its awe-inspiring vistas - undiscovered until barely two centuries ago - have been the background to feats of human endurance and tragedy, scientific discoveries, and environmental studies. You could hang out with some of the coolest creatures on earth above and below the ice as you meet emperor penguins, adiele penguins, killer whales, elephant seals, even the antarctic hair grass (Deschampsia Antarctica) and antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis), two flowering plants native to Antarctica. Suit up for the cold and visit some of the harshest regions on planet, following in the footsteps of courageous explorers sailing to Antarctica. Learn about how scientists live here now and what they do every day-from researching climate change to analyzing ice cores over a million years old to learn about the history-and future-of this continent.
