ANTARCTICA - FEBRUARY 26: Crabeater seals sleep as they lie on snow covered ice in Antarctica on February 26, 2019. Turkish scientific research team has completed their navigation after set up a research camp within the 3rd National Science Antarctica Expedition, under the auspices of Presidency of Turkey and under the coordination of the Ministry of Industry and Technology and Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Polar Research Center (PolReC). The continent, which is not under the rule of any countries, is called the 'science' and 'peace' continent. Antarctica, the world's fifth largest continent, with an area of 14 million square kilometers, is located in the southernmost part of the southern hemisphere. The 98 percent of the continent is covered with ice with an average thickness of 1.6 kilometers, contains 67 percent of the freshwater source on the Earth. The untouched nature of Antarctica is of great importance for our future of the world. Antarctica, which has no indigenous people, is home to penguins, seals, whales, birds and various animals.
