Antarctica: The Coldest Continent

Antarctica, the coldest region on Earth, is crucial to the global climate system. It holds 90% of the world's ice, which influences ocean currents and supports diverse marine life. The Adélie penguin is a key species, with significant breeding sites on Ross Island. Ice cores from Antarctica provide insights into past climate conditions. The 2002 collapse of the Larsen-B Ice Shelf highlights the impact of warming currents, raising concerns about other ice shelves.
