QUÉ SIGNIFICA ANTARCTICA EN INGLÉS
Antártida
La Antártida es el continente más austral de la Tierra, que contiene el Polo Sur geográfico. Está situado en la región antártica del hemisferio sur, casi enteramente al sur del Círculo Antártico, y está rodeado por el Océano Austral. Con 14.0 millones de km2, es el quinto continente más grande del continente, después de Asia, África, América del Norte y Sudamérica. Para la comparación, la Antártida es casi dos veces el tamaño de Australia. Alrededor del 98% de la Antártida está cubierta de hielo que tiene un promedio de por lo menos 1,9 kilómetros de espesor, que se extiende a todos los puertos, excepto a los más septentrionales de la Península Antártica. La Antártida, en promedio, es el continente más frío, seco y ventoso, y tiene la elevación media más alta de todos los continentes. La Antártida es considerada un desierto, con precipitaciones anuales de sólo 200 mm a lo largo de la costa y mucho menos tierra adentro. La temperatura en la Antártida ha alcanzado -89 ° C. No hay residentes humanos permanentes, pero entre 1.000 y 5.000 personas residen a lo largo del año en las estaciones de investigación dispersas por todo el continente.
definición de Antarctica en el diccionario inglés

Todas las reclamaciones políticas a la parte continental están suspendidas en virtud del Tratado Antártico de 1959.

Citas y frases célebres con la palabra
Antarctica.
Sea ice conditions have remained stable in Antarctica generally.
When I started 'Case Histories,' the characters were all going to Antarctica on a cruise. The first part was called 'Embarkation.' It was supposed to be about everyone preparing to embark on the cruise, but it mushroomed into an entire book.
Consider this: I can go to Antarctica and get cash from an ATM without a glitch, but should I fall ill during my travels, a hospital there could not access my medical records or know what medications I am on.
If Antarctica were music it would be Mozart. Art, and it would be Michelangelo. Literature, and it would be Shakespeare. And yet it is something even greater; the only place on earth that is still as it should be. May we never tame it.
The genus Drosophila is one of the great success stories. There's hundreds of species within the genus. They're on every continent except Antarctica, they're in tropical rain forests, they're in deserts, they've evolved many exotic mating behaviors, and they're capable of incredibly long-distance flights.
Antarctica is otherworldly, like nothing I've ever seen before. Stark, cold, beautiful desolation.
Adventure books are my personal favorites. 'The Endurance,' a story about Ernest Shackleton's legendary Antarctica expedition, or 'Into Thin Air,' Jon Krakauer's personal account of the 1996 disaster on Mt Everest, are two notables.
The thing that is most beautiful about Antarctica for me is the light. It's like no other light on Earth, because the air is so free of impurities. You get drugged by it, like when you listen to one of your favorite songs. The light there is a mood-enhancing substance.
Antarctica has this mythic weight. It resides in the collective unconscious of so many people, and it makes this huge impact, just like outer space. It's like going to the moon.
I think part of the appeal of Antarctica is experiencing some sort of power, the forces of the natural world.
