Animals In Antarctica
Antarctica is full of mysteries to most people who have never been there before, It’s like going to space or the moon. Antarctica is like a desert, except It’s not hot and it's very cold It’s the coldest continent in the entire Earth and all you see is the snow, sky, water and penguins, seals, birds. it does not rain or snow a lot there, but when it does snow instead of melting they remain there and builds up for many years and make a large thick sheets of ice and they are called ice sheets. There is also glaciers, ice-shelves, and icebergs. It can drop to about -89.2 C and can reach a wind speed of 320 km/h, but the average wind speed is 12.3 mph.
Adelie penguins are the smallest and the most common penguins in Antarctica they are about 27 inches tall and weigh 8-12 lbs, they have a white ring surrounding their eyes and looks like somewhat a tuxedo.
Adelie eats fish, squid, krill and crustaceans, Adelie penguins can stay underwater for about 2-3 minutes and during those minutes they dive 40-50 meters depth. They have about 2 million pairs and their eggs take about 34-36 days to hatch and when the egg hatches the …show more content…
So even though it’s very cold in Antarctica it is still habitable by other animals except humans, humans are not built to survive the cold for a very long period of time, unless you are very lucky like Shackleton and his crew survived in Antarctica for a year and a half. Antarctica is very dangerous even if you wear thick clothings and food to help you survive, the weathers are very unpredictable, you don't know when it will get cold even in morning (the night is the coldest in Antarctica), ice melt and leopard seals stalking you. Antarctica is still full of mystery, Antarctica is a continent that broke apart and drifted to the south where it’s the coldest and that's how it became the coldest continent in the entire
