Antarctic landscape

Antarctic landscape, rocks, ice, snow, mountains.

In Antarctica air temperatures are usually well below freezing, and strong winds exaggerate the effects of the cold; there is total darkness for three months during winter, while the summer sees 24-hour sunshine; and fresh water is provided only by snow melt.
