Antarctica: Ready for Winter is a documentary that focuses on the process of exploring one of the most remote and coldest places on the earth. Stations are only open on a seasonal basis due to the brutal winters. These stations play a key role in learning more about the icy continent and understanding the ecosystem. Many explorers and scientists leave from Cape Town, South Africa to visit Antarctica each year to continue to learn about this remote destination.
Antarctica is located in the southern hemisphere, as summer begins in late December and ends in March. The South Pole is also found in Antarctica, as ice covers the continent almost year-round. The Gamburtsev Mountains are also located in Antarctica, as they are one of the biggest mountain ranges on earth with over 750 miles in length. Much of Antarctica remains unknown, as scientists continue to study and learn more about the fascinating continent.
