The Antarctic Continent
Typically people think of
Antarctica as being all ice..as the Arctic. Antarctica is a
continent with an interesting geology and topography under
the ice caps. Summer temperatures melt the ice and reveal
the rocky terrain below. Half Moon Island is a crescent
shaped island in the South Shetlands, Antarctic Peninsula.
It is the site of a small, summer only Argentine Station
named Teniente Camara. Photo by: Nydia R. Hanna, MV
