ANTARCTIC

Antarctica, sometimes called "the Southern Continent" or "the White Continent", is the southernmost continent on Earth. Located around the South Pole, it is surrounded by the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans and the Ross and Weddell Seas. It forms the heart of the Antarctic region which also includes the emerged parts of the Kerguelen plateau as well as other island territories of the Antarctic plate more or less nearby. All of these territories, which share common ecological characteristics, constitute the Antarctic ecozone..
