get to know Antarctica
Antarctica is the southernmost continent on Earth, encompassing the South Pole and surrounded by the Southern Ocean. It is the coldest, windiest, and driest continent, with temperatures plunging well below freezing year-round. The continent is covered by a vast ice sheet, which holds about 70% of the world’s freshwater. Despite its harsh conditions, Antarctica hosts a range of unique wildlife, including penguins, seals, and various seabirds. Human presence is limited to scientific research stations operated by various countries under the Antarctic Treaty System, which promotes international cooperation and prohibits military activity. The pristine and extreme environment of Antarctica makes it a critical area for climate and environmental research.

Greenland is the world’s largest island, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. An autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland is known for its vast ice sheet, which covers about 80% of the island. The ice sheet is second only to Antarctica in size and holds a significant portion of the world’s freshwater. Greenland’s population is concentrated along the ice-free, rocky coast, with the capital city, Nuuk, being the largest urban center. The island’s landscape features stunning fjords, glaciers, and mountains, making it a unique destination for nature enthusiasts. Greenland’s indigenous Inuit culture, combined with its Danish influences, creates a rich cultural tapestry. Climate change is significantly impacting Greenland, leading to accelerated ice melt and contributing to global sea-level rise.
