Welcome to the GeoBlog of fifth class. For the next few weeks we will be writing about the journey of a boat called SEAL . It is on its way to the Antarctica as we write. We are following its journey on the www.antarctica2007 website.

Did you know that Antarctica is the fifth largest continent. 98% of the hugh landmass is covered in ice. It is at the bottom of the earth. In the winter the sun never rises and in summer it never goes down. It is the coldest and windiest continent. Lots of people visit Antarctica as tourists.
