Containing 72% of the earth fresh water, 90% of the world’s ice, with wind blowing as far as 185 miles per<br />
hour, and with temperatures plunging to 100 degrees be low zero, Antarctica’s landscape is breathtaking, its climate<br />
life-taking. For centuries, Antarctica was almost unknown. In 1838, the Unites States Navy commissioned<br />
Lieutenant Charles Wilkies to explore the South Pole near the centre of Antarctica. He saw enough of Antarctica to<br />
prove it a continent. In 1911, a British team and a Norwegian team had a race to the South pole. Five Norwegians<br />
reached pole first and returned home. The British party froze to death.<br />
Antarctica remains full of mysteries and contradictions. Scientists have uncovered plant, tree, and animal<br />
fossils of species originally found only in warm climates. Today there are only lichens, mosses, three flowering<br />
plants, one herb, and two grasses that grow where the ice recedes in the December summer. What triggered the<br />
metamorphosis? No one knows.<br />
Antarctica has the coldest temperature (-126,9 degrees Fahrenheit) ever recorded. It contains enough ice to<br />
cover the United States with a layer two miles thick. In this, the coldest place on the earth is Mt. Erebus, an active<br />
