What Humans do in Antarctica

                                                           What Humans do in Antarctica
                                                        Scientists and other staff visit
                                     Antarctica and do research and to find out more about 
                       this continent and how it affects we humans and the Earth as a whole.                There are many jobs on this continent and  scientists use those jobs to get information on this broad topic. Scientists are currently researching animal life on this continent, climate, and based on research, cures for cancer because there are so many plants and other  flowers that have many cures on this disease. 
     To focus on only one research product, it is Antarctica's animals. Penguins, seals, whales, other plants, fish, and much more. Some of these animals are; 
 The Adelie Penguin 
 The Emperor Penguin 
  Humpack Whale
  The Blue Whale
   Lion Seal
    Weddell Seal
   There are many more research topics but these are the major ones. If you go to the link below there is much more information.

Some other topics that scientists research in the continent are plants. Some plants in Antartcica are the following
There really are only two plants 
Antarctic Pearlwort 
Antarctic Hair Grass
These are the only two flower plants in Antarctica. They also only occur a few weeks in the summer, so they are very rare to find. Scientists usually go in this time of the year to go and study these plants. 
 If you go to the website below, you can get more information on these plants.
