One-tenth of the Earth's surface is always under the
cover of ice. And almost 90 per cent of that ice is to be found in the
continent of Antarctica. The remaining 10 per cent is found on the
mountains in the form of glaciers. The ice sheet that covers Antarctica
is almost one-and-a-half times the size of America. The only creatures
that live on Antarctica throughout the year are insects.
Antarctica
also has one active volcano. It is called Mt. Erebus and it emits steam
and gives out ash even though it is in a snowy region
