The high altitude and thin air in Antarctica, coupled with the reflection of solar radiation on the ice and snow surface, make the Antarctic continent the coldest region in the world, with an average temperature of 20℃ lower than that in the North Pole.

The average annual temperature in the Antarctic continent is MINUS 25 degrees Celsius. At such a low temperature, ordinary steel will become as brittle as glass; If you throw a glass of water into the air, it will become ice crystals. So it is impossible for human beings to survive in such weather conditions.

Arctic and Antarctic creatures:

1. Species that can survive in Antarctica: emperor penguins.

Emperor penguins stand on the frozen sea, and they feel the power of the Antarctic snowstorm. Only by squeezing together can they survive the severe winter. They took turns to resist the fierce cold wind. Emperor penguins can only live here, because the Antarctic continent is surrounded by the southern ocean, and no land carnivores can reach here. So unlike arctic animals, they are not threatened by polar bears.

2. Arctic overlord: polar bear.

Polar bears are the second largest Xiong Ke animal and the second largest land carnivore in the world. In the past, people always thought that the polar bear was the largest land predator, and it was not until the Kodiak brown bear weighing 880 kilograms was found on Kodiak Island that the polar bear ranked second (if subspecies were not included, the polar bear was still the largest land predator).
