Where On Earth Is Antarctica?

It is January. Let’s look at the coldest place in the world. 

Antarctica is the coldest continent. The average temperature is -30 °F. The South Pole is in Antarctica.  

People do not live in Antarctica. People do stay there sometimes. People study science there. They study ice. They study weather. Antarctica has clear skies. People study the stars there.
