This high, barren, white desert is so remote and so inhospitable that no human beings have ever made it their natural home.But despite this, the continent is teaming with life, the majority of it in the rich oceans that surround the ice. Here, whales, seals, penguins and sea birds gorge on the rich variety of sea life, which isin turn fuelled by the nutrient rich waters.
