Introduction on Antarctica

                                                                 All About Antarctica 
                                                     Cold, dry, deathtrap, penguins,
                    and harsh weather is all we humans ever think of when Antarctica comes

into mind. Nonetheless, have we ever thought in depth about this continent? There is a ton of information about this unique place that I think you should know about. To speak about this continent, what makes it unique from other places on Earth is its nature, inhabitants, weather, overall structure, tectonic plates, desert-like atmosphere, conditions, and much more. Due to Antarctica's harsh conditions, it can only give habitat to many rare species of animals, plants, and other organisms. It affects the earth as a whole, such as affecting the Earth's temperature, the movement of its tectonic plates, the seas and oceans of the Earth, humans, other organisms, the Earth's weather (mostly cold and warm fronts including storms and other harsh weather), and the Earth's overall structure. Antarctica is beneficial and very harmful to humans, too. Anyways, here are some geographical facts about this "ice continent."
1). Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth.
2). Antarctica's total area is 14,000,000 km.
3). Antarctica's coordinates are 90 degrees South, and 0 degrees East.
4). Approximately 170 million years ago, Antarctica was known as the SuperContinent, Gondwana. At that time it actually was a very tropical area, and many forests and ancient organisms lived there. 
5). This continent has about 70% of the world's fresh water supply, except it is in the form of ice.
