Antarctica is the best place in the world to find meteorites. Dark meteorites show up against the white expanse of ice and snow and don't get covered by vegetation. In some places, the way the ice flows concentrates meteorites there.

It has been estimated that during the feeding season in Antarctica, a full grown blue whale eats about 4 million krill per day. The daily intake would feed a human for about 4 years!

Antarctica has a peculiar group of fish called the ice fish. These have no red pigment - hemoglobin - in their blood to carry oxygen around.
