The extreme climate of Antarctica effectively prevents the long term settlement of human beings in the continent, but the wildlife of Antarctica is not altogether non-existent despite its many climatic restrictions, especially during the warmer summer months in the ice-free regions.
The animals
in the Antarctic are all well-adapted to the cold, consisting of seals,
penguins, seabirds and whales. The Antarctic Peninsula nearest to the Antarctica
Convergence is the most densely populated region, as conditions are mildest
in comparison with the rest of the continent. Food is taken from the seas
that surround the land, so most of the animals live on the shore, although
some do breed inland.
