Antarctica




Antarctica takes up one-tenth of the earth's land surface and is one-and-a-half times the size of Europe. It is the coldest, driest, highest, and windiest continent. There are no "Antarcticans"--the only people there are temporary residents. However it is home to the penguins and seals which we read about in Helen Cowcher's wonderful book: Antarctica.
