The climate in Antarctica is very interesting! Antarctica’s highest temperature is 63.5 degrees fahrenheit. In addition to that the heat affects the ecosystems and humans. In Enderby Land, Antarctica the temperature is usually in the – teens. Enderby Land, Antarctica is in the north. The water is heating up from the summer melts. I am scared for the animals.

Arctic foxes, polar bears, reindeer, and much more. Animals are very interesting. Arctic foxes eat lemming most of the time, lemming is a rodent like creature. Polar Bears eat seals, seabirds, and fish. Reindeers eat mosses, plants and lichens. Animals will not attack you unless you scare them.

The arctic land is very lumpy because melts and freezes. Plants surprisingly live in the arctic. Temperature is very interesting. Animals are amazing too. Now you can tell people about the arctic and see what they think.
