The document summarizes key facts about Antarctica:
1) Antarctica is located at the South Pole and has extremely cold temperatures reaching as low as -70° Celsius with wind speeds up to 300 km/h.
2) It contains 90% of the world's ice and is the major fresh water reserve on Earth, with ice averaging 2,500 meters thick in some places.
3) If all the ice melted, it would cause the oceans to rise 70 meters globally and significantly impact the world's climate and weather patterns.
Beautiful pix of Antartica for your viewing pleasure.
I receive several PowerPoint presentations through e-mail, so I thought I'd share them. I just post them. I didn't creat them :)
