Underneath the Antarctic ice sheet lies a geologically complex continent. What would we find if the ice disappeared? And is it increasing or decreasing? What would Antarctica look like without ice? What types of rocks make it up? In short, what truly lies beneath the fifth largest continent by area, the current home of the geographic South Pole, and the coldest place on Earth, with temperatures dropping to -98°C? We delve into these and other lesser-known aspects of Antarctica in this engaging video prepared for you by Insane Curiosity Channel!
Antarctica is the continent of extremes: it's the coldest, windiest, driest, highest, least populated, and least polluted. It differs from other continents due to the absence of liquid water on a continental scale, the extensive cold and arid polar desert that leads to extreme environmental conditions, and the almost total lack of vegetation.
