WHY SHOULD WE CARE ABOUT ANTARCTICA?

It's about the farthest away place on earth from most of the world's population.

Only a handful of scientists live there... there are few natural resources... it's dark half the year... and it's cold!

It's also the last unexplored continent on the planet.

The continent of Antarctica is made up of six million square miles of unknown landscapes. These landscapes still have many secrets and mysteries to be revealed.

The more we learn about Antarctica the more we realise how closely tied together Australia and Antarctica are.

THERE IS A LOT TO LEARN AND EVEN MORE TO BE GAINED.
