TIDBITS VISITS
ANTARCTICA
Mrs.
by Janet Spencer
On November 18, 1820, an American seal hunter named Nathaniel Brown Palmer became the first American to lay eyes upon mainland Antarctica. He is considered to be one of three primary candidates to have discovered the frozen continent. Palmer proclaimed the frozen terrain before him to be Palmer Land, and the Palmer Archipelago still carries his name. Come along with Tidbits as we visit Antarctica!
ANTARCTICA FACTS • The lowest reliably measured temperature of a continuously occupied station on Earth was −128.6°F on July 21, 1983 at Vostok Station. • In summer, the population of Antarctica averages about 5,000. In winter, it drops to 1,000. About 40,000 tourists visit each year. There are no permanent residents. • Antarctica is the only continent without a time zone. The scientists who reside there go by either the time of their home land or the supply line that brings them supplies. • Antarctica is the world's largest desert. In Antarctica's Dry Valleys, it hasn't rained for more than 2 million years. The ground and climate so closely resemble the surface of Mars that NASA did testing there for the Viking mission.
