Answer 2

ok.

Antarctica is actually a desert, receiving about the same precipitation (less than 2 inches a year), as the Sahara Desert

If Antarctica were to melt, the sea level would rise over 200 feet.

The world's record low temperature of -128.5° F was recorded in Antarctica.

Antarctica represents about 9 percent of Earth's continental crust and has been in a near-polar position for more than 100 million years.

The temperature in Antarctica once dropped 65° F in 12 minutes.

As sea ice gets older it becomes considerably stronger. In first-year sea ice, most of the salts remain in tiny pockets that prevent a more rigid crystalline ice structure from forming. As the ice ages, the salts slowly leach out, leaving a much stronger crystal.

Answer 5

1. Sunsets can be green in Antarctica.
2. In a 1961 issue of "Australian Saucer Record," an anonymous contributor wrote claimed a "personal visit to a saucer base in Antarctica, located within a 140,000 square mile oasis beyond the South Pole...Yes, I saw fabulous cities of an unknown, advanced civilization whose ancestors belonged to the race that inhabited...Atlantis and Lemuria."
3.In the Antarctic Ocean, sediment dredged up from the ocean bottom proves that rivers on the polar landmass carried mud to the sea some ten to twelve thousand years ago. This means that the continent could not have been covered in ice at that time.

Answer 7

I'll give you one also, the rest you can get from my website

The ice over the South Pole moves about 10 meters every years. The marker over the South Pole is moved on Jan 1 every year 10 meters to keep it over the South Pole. That same day there is a foot race at the South Pole called "race around the world" where people working there race on a track around the South Pole marker (about 1 mile - 2 laps? - I've walked it once and watched it every year since).
