We have witnessed all the weather changes thoughtout the year. Isn’t it interesting to know about those places? Well, it is. Today, we will cover the short and exciting facts about the Antarctica region. The entire Antarctica region is stretched in an area of 14,200,000 sq kilometers. Moreover, cold weather is the sudden climate change that witnesses the low temperature in the atmosphere, and the lower temperature lies from zero to minus.

Despite this, the constant blowing of cooler air would probably result in a lower temperature in the entire region.
Apart from this, we can witness the coldest weather in the Antarctica region, the fifth largest continent in the world. At the same time, the Antarctica region is stretched into an area with a thick sheet of white ice, and it is estimated that the thickness of the ice goes upto 1.9 kilometers. You might be wondering about the top 5 facts about Antarctica.

1. World’s Fresh Water

You’ll surely amaze by the fact that there are almost 60-90% of the pure water is witnessed in the Antarctica glacier. Here, the water bodies are locked with ice sheets and covered with the harsh and brutal Antarctica mountains. Most interestingly, if the glacier of Antarctica got melts, it is estimated that there would be a rise of 60 meters in the global sea level.

2. Antarctica Desert

You might be wrong if you think that the golden dues of sands are the only source of the desert. The Antarctica region is also categorized as the desert with the lowest precipitation in this specific region. The climate of these deserts has been the same for 45 million years, covering the region with harsh and thick layers of snow.

3. Warming areas on Earth

Due to global warming, the Antarctic Peninsula region is constantly higher in temperature. Most importantly, the temperature of these regions is higher than in other parts of the Earth. In the past 50 years, the average temperature of this area has constantly been increasing by 3 degrees Celcius. And if you are updated with global news, then you find that in Glasgow’s recent summit, the global leaders witnessed this point as well.

4. No time zone

In the entire region of Antarctica, there is no time zone, and we know that when the lines of longitude meet at the South Pole, the globe witnesses the difference in the time zone. On the flip side, in Antarctica, there is constant daylight during summer and darkness during winter for six months. And if you are lucky, you might encounter the sparkle of the sky formerly called the Northern lights.
