Antarctica is Earth’s southernmost continent, containing the geographic South Pole. The freezing, inhospitable continent of Antarctica was the last place on Earth to be explored. Antarctica does not belong to any nation, but is governed under an international treaty that prevents countries from exploiting its land. Antarctica is the only continent on Earth without indigenous human inhabitants. Today, Antarctica is designated as “a continent for science”. There are currently no Universities there as there are no indigenous inhabitants. However, Scientists visit Antarctica to study the climate, weather, geology, and wildlife of this freezing, unique region. Research so far has helped to highlight global problems, such as climate change.
