The Chilean Antarctica



Hi guys. I'm presenting to you the georgeous Antartica. It the Earth's southernmost continent in the South Pole. It's the fifth largest continent after Asia, Africa, North America and South America. 98% of Antarctica is covered with ice, that's why it's considered the coldest, driest and windest territory in the world. Chile claims about 9% of this territory and has a military based named "Base O'Higgins" which you can see in the picture with the red building. An average of 130 people live there. These are militaries that are sent there to live for a couple of months with their families. In the picture you can see the Emperor penguin that lives there too. This is a nice scenery to see in pictures because I don't think I'll never go there. It's not easy for me to survive in such a cold weather brrrr.... I'd freeze inmediately.

  1. I don't think I'll volunteer to live in Antarctica either. I don't even like the winters in NYC! The penguin babies look adorable, though, so maybe it would be worth a trip.
