1) There is lack of permanent human settlement in Antarctica due to it's extreme weather conditions. This is mainly due to extensive of extreme cold climate there a do during most part of the Year the entire region is covered with snow which make life difficult.
2) Simply because Christmas is not a celebration of winter, it is a celebration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, and the date for celebrating this event was set at 25 December, perhaps in the early 300s AD. An alternate date of 6 January was popular in the Eastern Roman Empire, but 25 December eventually won out. No one knows the actual date of birth for Jesus of Nazareth, so any date is going to be arbitrary. Christmas, though, does not celebrate his date of birth, but rather the fact of his birth — a subtle difference. The date is arbitrary, and now highly traditional.
In the Northern Hemisphere, a Christmas in July celebration is deliberately ironic; the July climate is typically hot and either sunny or rainy, as opposed to the cold and snowy conditions traditionally associated with Christmas celebrations in the higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. Some people throw parties during July that mimic Christmas celebrations, bringing the atmosphere of Christmas but with warmer temperatures. Parties may include Santa Claus, ice cream and other cold foods, and gifts. Nightclubs often host parties open to the public. Christmas in July is usually recognized as July 12 but also sometimes celebrated on July 25.
3) The Atlantic Ocean has a long and indented coastline. In an indented coastline, water comes close to the harbour providing the large entrance to the ship. Thus, Atlantic Ocean is the busiest ocean in termed of trade and commerce.
4) Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth’s atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gases, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to the atmospher.
