Antarctica Learn Facts about Antarctica for Kids

Did you know that Antarctica the coldest place on Earth is a desert? Not only that its the largest desert in the world! In this video for kids you will learn this and other fun facts about Antarctica the only continent on which people dont live except for scientists. Antarctica is an amazing and unique place. Located at the bottom of the earth it is almost completely covered in ice. Only 2 of it isnt. It is considered a desert because it receives such a small amount of rain every year. So why is there so much snow? Its because the snow that does fall never melts its just too cold. Instead the snow just builds and builds and builds. As a result it has become one giant piece of ice. Its far too cold for humans to live comfortably but its just right for some animals. The creatures who call this place home include penguins leopard and weddell seals killer whales orca fish and krill. The plant life that thrive there include moss non-marine algae and many fungi and bacteria. Perhaps one of the most interesting facts about Antarctica is that the season of winter yields no sunlight! There are only two seasons here: winter and summer. That means that for six months the sun doesnt shine! It goes down in March and doesnt come up again until the beginning of October! It is dark 24 hours a day for six whole months. We hope you and your students enjoyed learning about this cold continent!
