Almost the entire
continent -98 percent - is covered in ice that is
thousands of years old. If it all were to melt,
the global sea level would rise by a couple of
hundred feet (about 60 meters). Antarctica has
two distinct seasons, a very short summer and a
very long winter. During the austral summer the
days are very long. In the winter feeble sunlight
breaks out for only an hour or two, if at all. If
you think in Antarctica tourism, explore the new
Antarctica cruises from South America, some
cruises departs from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
