Antartic today.

Antarctica is therefore one of the few places in the world that can truly be described as having been discovered, rather than already people living there already who had "discovered" it long before.
No-one lives in Antarctica indefinitely in the way that they do in the rest of the world. It has no industries, no towns or cities, or permanent residents. The only "settlements" with longer term residents (measured in months or more) are scientific bases.
In the last years the Antarctica is suffering a lot of changes due to the global warming, the temperature is incresing and it produces the melting of icebergs. This melting affects the habitats of living beings that make their lifes there.
