Explores

We had to scan threw web sites and find out some facts about Antarctica.The first thing we did was go to the antarctic center so that we could get to know more about Antarctica,.

Explorers

Robert Falcon Scott was a famous explorer.Who traveled to Antarctica to try and make it to the center of Antarctica and back But sadly died on the way back.

His friends that went with him were Henry Bowers,Edgar Evans  Lawrence Oates and Edward Wilson.In February 1913 the tragic news shocked the world.The search parties found the bodies and Roberts Diary.

Robert Falcon Scott died of starvation because on the way back they ran out of food.Lawrence Oates died of because he committed suicide.Another person that died in Antarctica was Ronald Amundsen died aviation accidents and incidents

The reason he didn't come was because when they got back to the boat it had shriveled up in the ice so it could not move and the boat froze and started to break so they had to abandon the boat before they sunk.


I like Robert Falcon Scott because he made it to Antarctica and he had good friends they almost made it back he is one of the greatest explorers that i know and he is my hero.

Every day winter

Antarctica is the windiest and driest and whitest place on earth. In Antarctica is minus zero mostly all the time.In Antarctica it is also known as a desert and that's why Antarctica is dry because it never rains.


Looks Like-The ice is enormous it’s like superman taking the ice up in the   sky and it’s still in the water that's how big it is.The snow is as white as a sheep and as soft as sheep's fur in the winter.



You can hear the whistling of the wind. It's like  someone is whistling in your Ear. You might hear the water exploding in the sea because the glaciers are dropping into the water. You will hear the noises of the animals calling to their families. The penguin’s noises sound like machine guns.


It feels like you are in the freezer and turning into an ice block, if you aren't wearing layers. It's like turning into an ice monster. The water is as fresh like a cucumber that got picked from a farm.

Antarctica looks like-


Antarctica is the coolest and coldest place in earth and the iciest place ever. It is the largest continent on earth and the coldest place on earth I would not want to live their.


I like  Antarctica because of the temperatures did you know that the highest temperature caught in Antarctica was 17.5c. The lowest temperature ever caught was -89.2c.And there is sunshine for 6 months and darkness for 3 months.
