Antarctica
Antarctica, the Earth's southernmost continent, is a vast, icy wilderness covering an area of about 14 million square kilometers. For the past 5000 years, it has remained largely uninhabited by humans, with its geography and climate posing significant challenges. The major changes it has undergone are largely due to natural climatic variations. However, recent decades have seen a worrying acceleration in ice melt, attributed to global warming, threatening global sea levels and climate patterns.
