Antarctica, the southernmost continent, is home to the coldest temperatures on

Earth. The South Pole, located at the center of the continent, experiences
temperatures that can plummet below minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (-62 degrees
Celsius). Despite its harsh climate, Antarctica is teeming with life, including
penguins, seals, and a variety of microorganisms adapted to extreme conditions.
Scientists conduct research in this icy wilderness to better understand the impact
of climate change on the planet.
