3 Coldest 🥶 Facts About Antarctica #shorts
Here are the coldest three incredible facts about this icy land—Antarctica!
Did you know Antarctica is technically a desert? It’s the driest continent on Earth, with some
areas getting as little as 2 inches of precipitation a year. It’s so cold, the snow that does fall
doesn’t melt, forming thick ice sheets over time!
Antarctica holds about 70% of the world’s freshwater! That’s right—the ice covering this
continent contains the majority of our planet’s freshwater, which means if it all melted, global sea
levels would rise by almost 200 feet!
Believe it or not, Antarctica has active volcanoes! Mount Erebus is one of the most active
volcanoes on Earth, and it even has a lava lake at its peak. Who knew there was fire under all
that ice?
