Product Description   Average temperature I would omit as it changes across the land. NO walruses or polar bears live there. Only penguins, sea birds and 6 different species of seal. Antarctica is the southern most continent. It is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. It is the coldest place on Earth. In winter when the Southern Ocean freezes it doubles the size of the continent. About 98% of the continent is covered in ice. The ice is 1 mile thick at the South Pole. Penguins and six species of seal live in Antarctica. Other birds and mammals come in the summer to feed on the abundant krill in the ocean. Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty. It states that no war will ever be fought here. It states that all nations will share what they learn about the Antarctic. Some nations have research bases here.
