The Land Of Extremes

There was also a discovery of a brand new species of penguins and also see whales with special features. These possessed thick feathers that are waterproof and provides warmth. If the ice falls on their feathers, it slips right off. Seals also possess thick fat coating known as blubber. These blubbers serve as insulators and maintain warmth for the species during freezing weather. These animals have tiny feet to make sure minimum heat is lost.

Some More

One of the biggest challenges that the people researching on the land face are funds. There is a need for a huge sum of money to carry out this study on the ecosystem before it starts to change its color. Otherwise, all that they had worked for would be an entire loss. They need to explore this land by 2018 because the South Korean research mission would have a trip to the  South Shetland Isles that could alter the condition of these zones.

Multiple Worry

There is a something else that is worth worrying when it comes to the Antarctic. The ice caps are melting at an alarming pace in the last five years. Because of the rise in the levels of the greenhouse gases, there has been a tremendous change in the poles, ice melting. This will undoubtedly cause an issue of grave proportions that us humans would be affected by.

Need For Protection

The Antarctic remained uncharted in the last two centuries. Hence little information is known about it. However, the mysterious discoveries and the peculiar weather conditions in this area has made it a popular research area. In order to fully understand that life forms and the condition this place has, we need to have it protected. Then only we can learn more about its climates, harsh conditions, and the undiscovered marine life.

What Now?

There is still so much that needs to be explored and studied in order to fully understand this land that is so strange in the most wonderful way. Only time will tell if scientists and researchers can ever get the full information that everybody wants to get a hold of. The world we live in is truly is strange and beautiful, and there is so much waiting to be discovered and uncovered…
