Who discovered Antarctica and when did they discover it? Captain James Cook is the one who discovered Antarctica while crossing the Antarctic Circle on January 17, 1773 with the ships HMS Resolution and Adventure. There are confirmed first sightings of persons who discovered Antarctica in the 1820s. These are Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen on January 27,1820, Edward Bransfield on January 30, 1820, and Nathaniel Palmer on November 1820. On February 7, 1821, an American sailor by the name of John Davis made the first documented landing in West Antarctica though there are some controversy regarding this claim. 10/5/11   Week 3    1. Why do people go there? 2. Are there any volcanoes? How many? Where are they? 3. How many species of animals are there? Which are on land or from the sea? Why do people go there? Most of the people that go to antarctica are scientists to help find out why we have global warming and what we can do to help or stop it.

 Many people visit Antarctic as passengers on adventure cruises for the opportunity to learn something at first hand about an unusual part of their world. Scientists go to Antarctica to perform research on the climate and geology of the continent. Are there Volcanoes? This is a list of active and extinct [|volcanoes] in [|Antarctica]. There are 36 volcanoes in Antarctica. From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volcanoes_in_Antarctica      How many species of animals are there? Sea Land

__ Week 5 __ 1. Most common species of penguin? 2. How was Antarctica formed? 3. How big is Antarctica? What is its area?

18 May 2011 18/05/11 Wednesday

1. The most common penguin is the Adelie penguin

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">Adelie penguins can be found forming colonies on islands, beaches and headlands all around the Antarctic coast. The sight of thousands of them waddling and sliding to the water's edge and then diving headfirst into the Antarctic waters, has thrilled Antarctic visitors for generations. Early explorers made use of the Adelie penguins not only for endless entertainment but also as a source of eggs and tough, but tasty meat. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">2. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"> More than 170 million years ago, Antarctica was part of the supercontinent Gondwana. Over time Gondwana broke apart and Antarctica was formed around 25 million years ago

West Antarctica was partially in the northern hemisphere, and during this period large amounts of sandstones, limestones and shales were deposited (kept in a safe place). East Antarctica was at the equator. By the start of the Devonian period (416 Ma) Gondwana was in more southern latitudes and the climate was cooler, Sand and silts were laid down in what is now the Ellsworth, Horlick and Pensacola Mountains. Glaciation began at the end of the Devonian period (360 Ma) as Gondwana became centered around the South Pole and the climate cooled, though the plants remained. During the Permian period the plant life became dominated(Ruled over) by fern-like plants such as //Glossopteris// which grew in swamps. Over time these swamps became deposits of coal in the Transantarctic Mountains. Towards the end of the Permian period Gondwana continued warming and became dry. <span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">3. <span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;">Antarctica is roughly 5.4 million square miles (14 million square kilometers) in size, and that’s with all of its ice.
