Antarctica is the one place where the penguins can be found. Penguins can’t be found in the arctic region because it’s colder. And also, Antarctica is a place where the rarest species of animals can be found. Antarctica is so cold because it is far from the equater.
 * There are 3 main parts of climate in Antarctica. The interoir, the coast areas and the peninsula. **
 * The interior recieves the most indirect rays of sunlight which means it's a colder place . Blizzards often occur and the temerature is roughly -50 degrease celcius. **
 * The coastal areas have mild temeratures of -40 to -50 degrease celcius. It mostly snows on the coast. **
 * The Antarctic Peninsula is much farther North than any other place in Antarctica. It has a wetter climate and is a place where most of the animals breed and nest. The Peninsula gets the worst storms and winds. **

He sadly approached his death in his Brighton home from a cerebral haemorrhage (meaning blood leaks from the brain) on November 14th, 1958. He appeared on the Australian 100$ note from 1984 to 1996. He was 76 years old when he died not being able to finish off his latest novel about his last expedition, his eldest daughter Patricia had completed his work.

I was responsible for the magnetic observations and the cartographic work. //I// would say that I did a good job with it. (look at the fact files to find out some things about Antarctica)

FUN FACTS Like all other continents, Antarctica has its core, an ancient shield. You can find rocks in Antarctica that are over 4 billion years old. In Antarctica there are longer periods of darkness than in Australia. In spacific stations are different languages. No one actually owns Antarctica, muiltiple countries signed a contract to **protect** this continent. These countries have claimed Antarctica: United Kingdom, Chile and Argentina. If Antarctica's ice sheets melted, the worlds oceans would rise by 60 to 65 metres.In Antarctica there are 6 months in the dark Dark and 6 months in light, so the best time to go there is in Novermber to March.

QUESTION TIME Why is Antarctica so cold?

Why is Antarctica so special/ Unique?

In the climate paragraph what was the costal area’s mild temperatures?

Who was the person that Douglas took over for to prevent him from dying?
