The air in Antarctica is nice and clean on our earth. It's the coldest place in the world, and it's also the most difficult place to live in. Antarctica is the land of snow and ice near the South Pole. Most people do not think there is much life in the icy waters around it. They are wrong.
Antarctica's seas are full of life. There are many kinds of fishes, water birds, seals and whales. They eat the thick plants in the sea and the smaller water animals. Some whales, for example, eat more than a ton of food every day.
The most famous animal of Antarctica is the penguin. Itstrutsaround the ice as if it were a movie star walking down the street.
It is said that the weather in Antarctica is getting warmer and warmer, and perhaps in the near future there will be "summer" there. It will be hard for life around Antarctica. People today think it important to keep there a good condition in environment, so scientists are doing research work there.
