1. Antarctica was discovered in the Russian expedition led by the navigators Bellingshausen and Lazarev. They approached Antarctica on the sloops Vostok and Mirny.

2. Antarctica is the highest continent on Earth.

3. Тhe Antarctic ice sheet is the largest on our planet.

4. Antarctica is divided into two parts — West Antarctica and East Antarctica, which have different origins and geological structure.

5. If all the ice in Antarctica melted, the area of this continent would be reduced by a third.

6. Тhe Ice sheet in Antarctica contains about 80 % of the planet's fresh water.

7. Antarctica has recorded the lowest air temperature on Earth in the history of meteorological measurements.

The most interesting fact about Antarctica for me is that there are wingless

midges  - Belgica antarctica. I didn't think insects lived there.

It is a land of colossal size and extremes. Encompassing over 5 million square miles, Antarctica is larger than Europe or Australia. Its thick ice sheets hold 70% of the Earth’s fresh water…yet with a yearly average of only 2 inches of precipitation; it is also the world’s largest desert. Antarctica is the windiest and coldest place on Earth. Average temperatures here range from the negative nineties (-90’s) in winter, to above freezing in the summer along the coast.
Tourist journeys to world’s frozen south most often begin in Ushuaia, Argentina or Punta Arenas in Chile, though trips can also be made from New Zealand, Australia, or even Cape Town, South Africa. Tours often take place during Antarctica’s summer, between November and February, when the pack ice is at its lowest and wildlife is most active.
Even before making landfall, you can witness sites found almost nowhere else on Earth. Gigantic icebergs, carved by the wind and the sea into floating caverns, soaring towers, and stately arches. For a closer look at the bergs, tourists can travel by zodiac raft or sea-kayak through a maze of ice and ocean. While out there, don’t be surprised if you come face to tail with some of the large denizens of the deep – humpback whales at their summer feeding grounds…orcas on the prowl… seals big and small…and the most famous resident of the South Pole…the penguin. Several species of penguins live in the Antarctic. Throughout the year, the birds breed and lay their eggs. Colonies sprout along the coastline
In addition to spotting wildlife, you can trek past majestic mountains… Visit scientific research stations and explore historic huts left behind by daring early adventurers. And marvel at a land that is still truly wild.

Every year, when Torne River turns to ice, a new Icehotel is created in the small village of Jukkasjärvi in the north of Sweden. The ice of the river transforms to design and architecture - an ephemeral art project and the world’s first, and largest hotel built of snow and ice.

Icehotel is created in a new guise every winter, but even when the snow melts the small part of it remains, so the visitor can go there all year long. I Icehotel has been an ephemeral art exhibition centered around the idea of exploring art by introducing creative individuals to ice and snow. All the artwork in Icehotel is original and protected under the Copyright Act. It is special because it is exceptionally large and beautiful with the team of architects working every day, and it has different rooms, spa, and even its own church.

I would like to visit this hotel, look at the ice sculptures, touch every detail made together by man and nature.

One of the highest hotels in the world (3912 m) is located on the southern slope of Elbrus. It consists of several blocks resembling space capsules, which can simultaneously accommodate up to 40 guests. The project was created by the architects of the Italian office LEAPfactory, who built a similar hotel on the Mont Blanc mountain in the Western Alps. All the elements of a comfortable stay have been thought out: heated floors, free WI-FI, panoramic Windows in the rooms and a separate heated room for drying clothes and equipment. The hotel is powered by solar panels, and snowmelt is used for the water supply of the complex.
