What lives in Antarctica?
Antarctica. The coldest, windiest, driest place on Earth — a continent buried under miles of ice. You might think nothing could survive there. But you'd be wrong.
The ocean around Antarctica is full of life. Seals haul themselves onto the ice to rest and birth their pups. Weddell seals can dive 2,000 feet down and hold their breath for over an hour, hunting fish in the black water below.
