Researchers pack pee, not pests to aid Antarctic

Antarctica's McMurdo Station, which is crucial to the study of climate change and other global environmental issues, and is located in one of the most remote and harshest climates in the world, is seen on Nov. 16, 2006.
 Antarctica is the world's coldest, windiest, highest and driest continent. But from our first day in this polar desert, I realized how delicate the Antarctic environment is.

    I did not know that Antarctica was so important in the world. I just knew that it was the coldest place and that no one could live there, so I did not think there would be too much information on it. I guess the saying you learn something new everyday is accurate. I read that chlorofluorocarbons led to the formation of the ozone hole. Interesting new fact I learned.

    I never knew how important antartica was to the world. In school all we really learn about it is that it's cold and that's where penguins live? I think it's a topic we should learn more about it class.
