Antarctica covers an area of about 14,500,000 square kilometers. It is the coldest, driest, most desolate place with the most frequent blizzards in the world. Unpolluted, it is so far the cleanest continent in the world, covered by an icecap over thousands of chi in thickness for hundreds of millennia. The icecap is the most splendid landscape of Antarctica, reputed as the “white desert”. Along the coast of this magic land live ocean animals such as penguins and seals, and birds. The mysterious Antarctica has become a sacred place for explorations and researches on geosciences.

南极是根据地球旋转方式决定的最南点。它通常表示地理上的南极区域,有一个固定的位置。按照国际上通行的概念,南纬66.5度(南极圈)以南的地区称为南极。
