Despite the extreme temperatures, there are 1150 different
species of fungi identified to survive in Antarctica. Fungi
perfectly adapts to extreme low temperatures, continuous and
repeated freeze and thawing cycles.

Antarctica (technically) contains every time zone on the
planet. All longitude lines we use to define time zones meet at
the two poles.

Antarctica was completely unknown until the continent was first spotted in 1820.

1) Their budget was not able to
afford full time physicians in their bases. 2) No countries'
budget can afford a full time dentist down there and dental
problems which are considered avoidable in the first place
and hence minor.

Explorer always onpoint

Relax bros... I believe she meant 'The mystery of God's kingdom, no one can know it all'
True, the whites are breaking new grounds everyday, but that's exactly how 'new' grounds will be broken till the end of time.
The problem of Africa is multi-faceted though, from mental slavery to culture to religion to laziness. That's a talk for another time though, but don't slam it all on religion/belief.

Nobody owns Antarctica.

Although a few nations, including Australia, Argentina, and the United Kingdom, have tried to lay claim to it over the years, it remains free of government and ownership. In 1959, the Antarctic Treaty was drafted, designating the land as "a natural reserve, devoted to peace and science." 48 nations have signed the treaty.

48 nations and counting.... have signed the treaty. when will Nigeria sign her treaty ?. This is the same thing "ZORO"of naijainfo always ponder upon but we never take it serious till it get overly saturated.
