Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent, being about 40% larger than Europe, and has an area of 14,200,000 km2 (5,500,000 sq mi). Most of Antarctica is covered by the Antarctic ice sheet, with an average thickness of 1.2 miles (1.9 kilometers).

Antarctica is, on average, the coldest, driest, and windiest of all of the continents, and it has the highest average elevation. This continent is mainly a polar desert, with annual precipitation of over about eight inches (200 millimeters) along the coastal area with even less inland.

After first being divided into the seven continental regions, this website will next host a page for each of the individual continents, where there will be a listing of information, associated maps, and photo galleries, all of which will provide access to how this continent, known as Antarctica, has been borne out and is currently developed and revealed.

Next, if and/or when available, each continental region, will have additional information and maps displaying how that continent is further divided into smaller regions, commonly know as Ecoregion.

This gallery explores a few of these places we would have the circumstances to travel to and visit as we journey. Yes, we are taking note as to the marvels of the creation.

There are so many natural wonders everywhere you look, and many of these wonders are so worth stopping to see. When you drive any place, schedule plenty of time for exploring the earth, you will be glad you did.

One thing to remember, though, you will not find many, if any, of these natural wonders in the city. No, the only things normally found in the city are concrete, crime, corruption and contaminated water.
