Show transcript
The Antarctic Circle is an imagined circle around the South Pole that surrounds the area known as the Antarctic. Antarctica is a large region, surrounded by the Southern Ocean, and is the coldest and windiest continent on Earth. Some of Antarctica’s Ice Cap is more than four kilometres thick. Antarctica can double in size by the end of the Antarctic winter as the sea ice around the continent increases.
