What is it like in Antarctica? It is the coldest place in the world, and the temperature there can reach -89 degrees. Almost all of the land is covered with snow and ice. Only a few kinds of animals, like penguins and seals, live there. There are no permanent human residents in Antarctica. The only human residents of Antarctica are the few thousand researchers who go there temporarily for research every year. They normally go to Antarctica just during the summer period because the climate during the other seasons is unbearable.
