Antarctica descripton

For literacy we have been learning about Antarctica. We were told to write about Antarctica so we had to find facts about Antarctica. We started learning about Antarctica when we went on a trip to the Antarctic center to learn about explorers the weather and the animals that live in Antarctica.
