The Antarctic continent is located in the South Pole of our Planet. Its geography, climate and biological conditions provide a unique enviroment. Il continente Antartico è situato Nel Polo Sud del pianeta. La sua posizione, clima e condizioni biologiche lo rendono unico!

Antarctica has the lowest temperatures in our planet reaching 70° Celsius below zero with winds of 300 km. Per hour. Containing 90% of the planet’s ice it’s the major reserve of fresh water on Earth. L’Antartico ha la più bassa temperatura del pianeta (- 70°) con venti che raggiungono i 300 km/h. Contiene il 90% del ghiaccio mondiale ed è la maggiore riserva d’acqua dolce del pianeta.

About 99% of Antarctica is covered with ice at an average thicknes of 2, 500 meters, reaching in some places as deep as 4, 776 meters. If the ice layer would melt all the Earth’s Oceans would rise 70 meters above the actual level. Circa il 99 % dell’Antartico è coperto da una media di 2, 500 metri di ghiaccio con punti che toccano i 4776 metri. Se tutto il ghiaccio dovesse sciorgliersi il livello dei mari salirebbe di circa 70 metri.

The Antarctic Continent functions as one of Earth’s “refrigerators” regulating the oceanic currents and the world’s climate. Any significant enviromental impact would alter the global patterns of weather with disastrous consecuences. L’Antartico funziona come frigorifero per il pianeta regolando le correnti oceaniche e il clima mondiale Ogni cambiamento ambientale potrebbe causare modifiche globali al clima conseguenze terribili.

In spite of the severe weather Antarctica has rich animal life amazingly well adapted to the harsh conditions. Nonostante le severe condizione climatiche l’Antartico è ricco di vita animale che si è perfettamente adattata a quelle dure condizioni.

The arrival of the first tourists in the 50’s was a main cause of enviromental concern. Strict rules and regulations were created as to protect the ecology of the enviroment from the visitors such as creating restricted zones , mantain a safe distance from the wild life, do not feed nor touch the animals, and rigid control of waste disposal. L’arrivo dei primi turisti negli anni ‘ 50 è stato uno dei problemi riguardanti l’ambiente: regole severe sono state create per proteggere l’ambiente e l’eco sistema dai visitatori, creando zone vietate, distanze minime per avvicinare glia nimali, interdizione di toccare e nutrire gli animali e rigidi controlli sulla dispersione dei rifiuti.
