Answer:

Antarctica is an unique place. Not only is it the highest, driest and windiest continent, it is the only continent where the first structure to be erected there by man still survives.

Antarctica is important for science because of its profound effect on the Earth's climate and ocean systems. Locked in its four kilometre-thick ice sheet is a unique record of what our planet's climate was like over the past one million years.
