The South pole is called Antarctica. It is the only continent without people ( human settlement) The whole sea and land is like a frozen ice. The snow is found to have been frozen even up to 3-4 kilometres. About 6-8 months of the year, it is completely dark. And too much of snowfall makes it difficult to reach there. But in the rest 3-4 months scientists and researchers go there by managing for temporary settlement. Goods needed for them are supplied by ships across seas.
The reason of this are enlisted below:
- To investigate the type of minerals available here with the possible benefits of them.
- To find out the prospects of tourism industry.
- To study the life of wild life penguin and seal, found here.
- To fin out safe place to live if any other world war occurs.
