Antarctica (南極 Nankyoku?, lit. South Pole) is the Earth's southernmost continent, containing the geographical South Pole and almost entirely covered in ice.

Background

The southernmost, fifth largest and coldest continent on Earth, Antarctica is a frozen desert, with little precipitation and temperatures mostly considerably below 0°C, with mean annual temperatures in the interior lower than -50°C. 98% of the continent is covered in ice with an average thickness of around 2km.

Antarctica lacks a native or permanent human population and government, though various countries maintain scientific research stations. The Antarctic Treaty regulates international activity with regards to Antarctica, promoting scientific research and prohibiting military activity and mining on the continent.
