Can you see the red shaded area on the world map ?

YES! This is Antarctica !

Antarctica is the fifth largest continent on the planet earth . It is also known as the White continent or the Frozen continent because it is covered by a thick layer of permanent ice which makes it the coldest continent in the world. Therefore, survival of humans is very difficult over here. Only scientists stay here to perform research work.

Penguins, seals, whales and albastross are found in this freezing continent. 

Come on let's watch this video to explore some interesting facts about Antartica
