 Slide 1 Iceberg formations  Slide 2 Location & Geography  Slide 3 Animals and What They Eat  Slide 4 Different Types of glaciers and about them  Slide 5 Weather  Slide 6 Wind Speed  Slide 7 Temperature  Slide 8 Environment  Slide 9 Types of ice in Antarctica

 Icebergs come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They could even look like a person or your house! Maybe just a floating rock or your dog. Icebergs could take any form

 Antarctica is on the bottom of the world its coordinates are degrees South degrees West  It is 14 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles) big slightly larger than Australia  Its Average elevation is 2,300 meters (7,500 feet) making it the highest continent on Earth  Antarctica has an active volcano named Mount Erebus which is 3,798 meters in height (12,447 feet) it is located in East Antarctica on the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf a place where ice extends far out over the ocean  Antarctica is home to one of the worlds largest lakes Lake Vostok, Lake Vostok is the size of North America’s Lake Ontario, it lies 4 kilometers (2 miles) below the continental ice sheet its waters have been sealed from air for about 35 million years

Penguins, Adelie, African, Chinstrap, Fairy, and Galapagos. Seals, Weddell seal, Southern fur seal, Leopard seal, Crab eater seal. Whales, Blue whale, Fin whale, Bowhead whale, Grey whale, And Polar bears. Penguins eat- Krill and larger Penguins eat fish and Squid. Seals eat- Variety of fish Whales eat- Plankton, Krill, and Fish Polar bears eat- Ringed seals, and Bearded seals, Bird egg’s

 Types- mountain glaciers, valley glaciers, tidewater glaciers piedmont glaciers, hanging glaciers, cirque glaciers, rock glaciers, ice shelves, Ice fields, ice caps, ice streams, ice sheets,  Mountain glaciers- developed in high mountain regions.  Valley glaciers- commonly originating from mountain glaciers or Ice fields.  Tidewater glaciers- these are valley glaciers that flow far enough to reach out into the see

Antarctica gets very little sunlight. Much of the sunlight it does receive is reflected back to outer space since most of the continent is covered with snow and ice, which further cools the continent.

High: 199mph (327km/h) Low: 12.3mph (10.7kts) Average: 50mph (80km/h

 The coldest temp ever was the warmest 35.3.

 Mostly covered in ice.  Animals are elephant seals and thousands of penguins.  Extremely cold and harsh environment.

 -98% of Antarctica is covered in ice  -Ice Sheets: Vast shields of thick continental ice that have formed through the accumulation of snow over millions of years.  -Ice Shelves: Large continentally based ice sheets which have followed to the coast where they then float in the ocean.  -Ice Crystals: Also known as “Diamond Dust”, ice crystals are essentially crystallized water vapor, found in areas of low humidity and extreme cold.  - Sea Ice: Ice which forms on the surface of the ocean, starting at coastlines and extending outward.
