Geography for Scrubs/Antarctica

Welcome to Antarctica! Earth's southernmost and least-populated continent. thumb|Antarctica as seen from space Antarctica is a huge frozen desert at the southernmost point of the world. It is the only continent with no permanent population and no officially claimed territory it (several countries claim parts of it, but can’t enforce them due to a treaty). It is mostly covered in immense glaciers (rivers of ice) and ice sheets, which are melting at an alarming rate due to climate change. The most famous residents of Antarctica are the penguins, flightless birds highly adept at swimming. Most life in Antarctica inhabits the coasts, surrounding oceans, and few areas not covered in ice.
