It just happens to be locked up in the continent“s icecap, which is between 6,000 and 14,000 feet thick and contains 90 percent of the world“s ice. With no native or permanent population, it is certainly the loneliest continent. And
8、 it is the only continent to have been truly “discovered“, since nobody lived there when it was found. Centered on the South Pole and lying almost entirely within the Antarctic Circle, Antarctica has an area of more than 5.5 million square miles, equal to 10 percent of the Earth“s land surface. Sinc
