2. Cool Facts About Antarctica
Antarctica is the highest, driest, windiest, emptiest, coldest place on earth.
An ice sheet covers all but 2.4 percent of Antarctica's 14 million square kilometres.
At its thickest point the ice sheet is 4,776 meters deep and averages 2, 160 meters thick. This is 90 percent of all the world's ice and it is 70 percent of all the world's fresh water.
There are lots of penguins, whales, seals, krill (the main food for whales), and even fish in Antarctica's waters, but there are no land mammals and, as far as scientists know, no native peoples.
