So I don't know very much about Antarctica and I would like to know more. The most I know is that it is really cold, not many people live there and it's the Continent located on the bottom of the Earth. I googled it to see what I could find and this is what came up.
"Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. At the 3-kilometer (2 mi)-high Vostok Station in Antarctica, scientists recorded Earth's lowest temperature: −89 °C (−129 °F).[27] For comparison, this is 11 °C colder than subliming dry ice." This is found at this link.
Also according to the link above it says, "Antarctica has no permanent residents, but a number of governments maintain permanent research stations throughout the continent. The number of people conducting and supporting scientific research and other work on the continent and its nearby islands varies from about 1,000 in winter to about 5000 in the summer. Many of the stations are staffed year-round."
I just think that it would be a very pretty trip to see the wildlife that is almost untouched by humans. That is the main reason I want to visit there.

There is no wildlife. It's Antartica. It's a bottomless pit of coldness, isolation, and hell.
Except for penguins. What were they thinking?
