Antarctica Cold Place Features

Read the fact file, then complete the explorer tasks. Antarctica is at the South Pole, at the bottom of the Earth.

Antarctica fact file

Antarctica is the coldest continent. Much of it is covered by a huge sheet of ice. It also has mountains, glaciers and icebergs. Strong winds blow across this cold, dry place. Penguins and seals live there, but polar bears do not. There are no towns or permanent residents. Scientists stay for a time at research stations. They wear warm, waterproof clothes to protect themselves from the cold. A few tiny plants, such as mosses and lichens, can grow in some places.
