İndir "Antarctica | Learn Facts about Antarctica for Kids"

Did you know that Antarctica, the coldest place on Earth, is a desert? Not only that, it's the largest desert in the world! In this video for kids, you will learn this and other fun facts about Antarctica, the only continent on which people don't live (except for scientists). Antarctica is an amazing and unique place. Located at the bottom of the earth, it is almost completely covered in ice. Only 2% of it isn't. It is considered a desert because it receives such a small amount of rain every year. So why is there so much snow? It's because the snow that does fall never melts; it's just too cold. Instead, the snow just builds and builds and builds. As a result, it has become one giant piece of ice. It's far too cold for humans to live comfortably, but it's just right for some animals. The creatures who call this place home include penguins, leopard and weddell seals, killer whales (orca), fish, and krill. The plant life that thrive there include moss, non-marine algae, and many fungi and bacteria. Perhaps one of the most interesting facts about Antarctica is that the season of winter yields no sunlight! There are only two seasons here: winter and summer. That means that for six months, the sun doesn't shine! It goes down in March and doesn't come up again until the beginning of October! It is dark 24 hours a day for six whole months.
