t has a population of fewer than 5000 people, making it the least inhabited continent on earth. Furthermore, it home to only a few animal and plant species. Only the cold-adapted organisms have adaptive mechanisms to survive in this environment.
Antarctica is the coldest continent on earth and most of its landmass is made of permanent glaciers. The glaciers cover approximately 1.9 kilometers thick which translate to about 98% of the entire continent.
Among the continents, Antarctica is the fifth largest almost doubling the size of Australia. It is widely known as the coldest, driest, and windiest of all the continents. It is also the continent with the highest elevation and regarded to be a complete desert. The temperature in Antarctica can reach as low as -89 degrees Celsius.
