What is the weather like in Antarctica?

Antarctica is called the "seventh continent" in the world, and the thermal storage capacity of land is not as good as that of ocean. The limited heat gained in summer is quickly radiated, and the ocean current around the South Pole is cold, resulting in a cold climate, so there is more ice? Due to the high terrain in Antarctica, the air is thin and not warm. Although it is a whole day for several months, the sun just lingers on the horizon, and the sunshine is oblique. The huge ice sheet is like a mirror, almost all the sunlight is radiated by it, so it gets little heat and the temperature is further reduced, resulting in severe cold all year round?

Because of the cold climate, Antarctic precipitation can only fall in the form of ice graupel, which does not melt all the year round? The average annual precipitation here is only 55 mm, but due to the low temperature and weak evaporation, it accumulates year by year and finally forms a huge ice sheet?

The South Pole and the North Pole can only get a little sunlight because they are far away from the sun, and the white snow and ice reflect most of the sunlight back. What about the South? The arctic is the coldest place in the world? However, the average temperature in Antarctica is almost 30 degrees lower than that in the North Pole. So Antarctica is the coldest place on earth, with the average temperature as low as minus 32 degrees in midsummer and minus 68 degrees in midwinter? Arctic summer is close to zero, even in the middle of winter, it is only MINUS 36 degrees?
