Antarctica is a continent surrounding the Earth's South Pole. It is the coldest place on earth and is almost entirely covered by ice.
Antarctica is the fifth largest continent in area, after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. However, it is the smallest in population. It is also the continent with the highest average altitude, and the lowest average humidity of any continent on Earth, as well as the lowest average temperature.
Antarctica is populated mostly by scientists who live and work on the frozen continent. Although there is no official support for tourism, those adventurous enough to brave the inclement weather may also find opportunities to work on one of the various research facilities for short periods of time. These opportunities, of course, may only be undertaken after relevant training has been satisfactorily completed prior to departure. Aside from this, the other ways to experience Antarctica include shore visits from commercial sea voyages (by far the most popular) or sightseeing by air.
