The continent of Antarctica is truly unique, with its breathtaking beauty it still can be incredibly ruthless to anyone who tries to dominate it. It remains the only continent in the world that has never seen the face of war. However, this continent, with a land mass larger than America and Europe together, has been the scene of more violent deaths than natural ones, due to continuous low temperatures which keep it practically free of any germs.
Present day Antarctica is a continent of contradictions as men of opposing political views labor in harmony, warm and contented three short inches away from a 100 degree below zero environment where blood freezes in seconds. Since the horrendous cold of Antarctica makes their bodies lose calories at an alarming rate, those living in Antarctica are forced to eat four generous meals a day just to keep up.
During the summer months, Antarctica is bathed in endless sunlight, which gives way to what is known as the "big eye", an insomnia condition that plagues most residents, as they struggle to sleep in the bright light of day. Bombastically the people who live in the Antarctic claim the rights to being part of the 300 Degree Club. They also boast that they have access to the cheapest and most southern bar on the planet, located at the South Pole. However, with the long nights through part of the year, a bar tab could still be rather expensive. The nights are extremely long between the months of April and September.
Its heartland is blanketed with a 9,000-foot sheet of ice in motion, and yet geologists state that it may harbor a sufficient quantity of oil, gas and coal to heat the world. Its laws, or lack thereof, are so strange that a fugitive could not be extradited and any criminal has almost nine million square miles of terrain ranging from open spaces to mountain ranges in which to conceal himself, should he be fortunate enough to survive more than a couple of hours in the most adverse climate known on earth.
There are no laws in Antarctica, but crime happens so infrequently there it doesn't need them. It could be the spot of the perfect crime, but if anyone has been murdered, it is a crime which has not been prosecuted. Antarctica has no extradition treaties or any laws which enforce murder statutes anywhere on the continent.
Ten flags from different countries are unfurled over the continent; however, not a single square foot of this real estate is claimed by any. Not a single country or nation has even attempted to try and make a permanent colony here on these primal lands. Ironically, these primal lands have some of the most technologically advanced pieces of equipment.
It may be surprising to know that the people who live here, although usually only for a short period, are known to have the highest IQ per capita on the planet. Due to the many scientists who live and work there, the college degrees can often outnumber high school diplomas. Having the most peaceful research out of any continent, this continent is more talent filled than any ivy-league school out there. This southern land is the only place where firing nuclear bombs is completely restricted.
There are no other continents with stricter laws of conservation. Whaling and sealing are regulated there now, people seeking those trades requiring licenses to even be in those waters. Present day Antarctica is the playground of the world's top scientists who are strenuously involved in keeping it pristine. - 31515
