What are the characteristics of the climate in Antarctica?

The climate in Antarctica is very special. It is the coldest continent in the world. Compared with the North Pole, the temperature in the South Pole is much lower than that in the North Pole, which is partly due to the different heat storage conditions between the ocean and the land, and also related to the low water content of the ground air in the Antarctic continent and the lack of ability to absorb solar radiation. Storm is the most harmful weather phenomenon on the Antarctic continent.

Due to the cold climate and lack of water, life is very poor, and there are only some lichens, mosses and algae here. Antarctica is the only continent on earth without trees. Although the continent is poor in life, the marine life around Antarctica is rich, with a large number of diatoms and krill growing.
