Antarctica is the coldest windiest and driest continent on Earth. The Antarctic ice sheet contains about 7.2 million cubic miles (30 million cubic kilometers) in an area just under 1.5 times...

 

Antarctica (/ æn?t??rkt?k? / ?) [note 1] is Earth 's southernmost and least-populated continent. Situated almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle and surrounded by the Southern Ocean (also known as the Antarctic Ocean) it contains the geographic South Pole. Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent being about 40% larger than Europe and has an area of 14 200 000 km2 (5 500 000 ...

 

Though Antarctica is really really chilly it is considered a desert because it receives very little rain or snowfall. The small amount of snow that does fall does not melt but builds up over hundreds and thousands of years to form large thick ice sheets.

 

Antarctica a continent of unparalleled ice and stark beauty is Earth?s southernmost landmass representing a vital frontier for scientific research and a testament to nature?s formidable power.

 

Without any ice Antarctica would emerge as a giant peninsula and archipelago of mountainous islands known as Lesser Antarctica and a single large landmass about the size of Australia known as Greater Antarctica.

 

Antarctica the world?s southernmost continent is almost wholly covered by an ice sheet and is about 5.5 million square miles (14.2 million square km) in size.

 

Most of Antarctica is covered by the Antarctic ice sheet with an average thickness of 1.9 km (1.2 mi). Antarctica is on average the coldest driest and windiest of the continents and has the highest average elevation. It is mainly a polar desert with annual precipitation of over 200 mm (8 in) along the coast and far less inland.
