Antarctica - Wink Travel Guide
Antarctica is Earth's coldest and driest continent, and also has the highest average elevation.
It is the southernmost continent, overlying the South Pole. As visits are restricted, costly and difficult, Antarctica is the only continent to be largely untouched by humans, in that it is still a vast expanse of icy wilderness with few traces of human activity, although global warming is melting the ice caps.
Antarctica's population consists of only a few thousand scientists. Unlike the Arctic in the north, there is dry land below the ice in Antarctica.
Wink Travel Guides introduce you to the best world travel destinations, in a clear and concise way, illustrated by photos.
