Antarctica is the fifth largest continent in the World. It is covered by ice and snow all the time., therefore it is called the frozen continent. Beneath this cover of ice there are huge mountains, valleys and plains. Even volcanoes. Antarctica is the coldest, windiest continent on the Earth. It is a cold desert. No humans live on Antarctica permanently. However, several countries have established research stations on the continent. And their scientists work on these stations or bases. We’re sharing lots of free printables about Antarctica for you to enjoy in your homeschool.
