The world's coldest and most inaccessible region Largely covered by floating pack ice The Antarctic is much colder than the Arctic, only inhabitants are visiting scientists. Various nations claim different parts of the Antarctic mainland. In 1959, twelve nations signed the Antarctic Treaty and agreed that Antarctica should be used for peaceful purposes only.

Oceans of the World Oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface. They affect the weather and temperature by absorbing the heat (solar radiation) coming from the sun. All oceans on earth are connected to each other. There are four oceans: the Pacific (the biggest and the deepest), Atlantic, Indian and Arctic (the smallest). In 2000, another is labeled as the Southern Ocean (surrounds Antarctica, really the southern portion of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans). http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/ocean/

Island Groups Islands are generally associated with the nearest continent to them, except the islands in the Pacific Ocean. The islands in the Pacific Ocean are collectively referred to as “Oceania” (the continent of Australia is also included in Oceania). Islands especially in warm climates attracts travelers. Some are visited as part of a travel to a mainland country (such as the Greek islands when traveled to Greece), some are destinations themselves. The most popular are in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean.

Caribbean Caribbean islands are the islands in the Caribbean Sea. They do not include the Bahamas and Bermuda. Antilles: another name for the Caribbean Islands. Great Antilles: the largest ones including Cuba, Hispaniola (countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Lesser Antilles: those Caribbean islands not among the Greater Antilles. http://www.unspoiledislands.com/sunscribers/maps/map.cfm

Pacific Polynesia: includes the islands within the triangle of Hawaii, New Zealand and Eastern Island. It does not include Fiji, though it includes Tuvalu. The term “Polynesia” means many islands. Melanesia: the islands from New Guinea to Fiji and New Caledonia. Micronesia: the islands in the western Pacific, including islands from Palau to Kiribati, the Marshalls and Nauru. The term “Micronesia” means small islands. http://www.mapsouthpacific.com/pacific/index.html
