Brief History
The “White Continent” is the earth’s southern most continent.  Situated on the South Pole and over 5 million square miles, 98% of its surface is covered by ice.  It is the coldest, windiest, driest place on Earth and due to the very limited precipitation it receives is technically the largest dessert on the planet. The Antartic Treaty, signed by 45 countries, prohibits military activities, supports scientific research, and protects the ecozone.  There are no permanent human residents, though research stations are staffed with scientists year-round.  Permanent residents (and the primary reason for tourists to visit) include penguins, fur seals, and whales, among others.
