The Effects
• There has been a lot more rain falling from the sky in North and South America, Europe, Central Asia and maybe more countries, which means that there is a lot more floods.
no plants before about six kilometres per decade.before.
• Longer droughts which means no more crops.
• Cold days and cold nights but no frost.

What are people doing to help Global warming?
Scientists regularly see how quickly Antarctica’s ice is melting. Some people in the world have stopped using trucks, cars, buses, or motorbikes, and just started using bikes or their own feet. We always can do more to help with Global Warming because one day it could be the last of the Earth!

​THE RACE TO ANTARCTICA
Captain Robert Falcon Scott had already been to Antarctica and enjoyed the experience and the hard work put in to it that he hoped that he could do it again.
On 1 November 1911, Scott left base camp with support parties, motor sledges, dogs and ponies for his journey south
Amundsen's party made swift progress up the newly discovered Axel Heiberg Glacier and across the Polar Plateau.
At 3pm on 15 December 1911 the Norwegian train halted and they had reached the Pole.
Captain Olav took snapshots of the historic moment with his personal camera as Amundsen's expedition camera failed to work
Captain Olav was not sure how close Scott was behind him.
Scott did not choose the team for the final push to the Pole until the last support party turned back, about 240km (150 miles) from the goal.
The extra man was the diminutive Scotsman Lieutenant Henry 'Birdie' Bowers, who had the kind of character that appealed to Scott mentally strong, versatile and determined.

Migration
Like most other whales the fin whale migrates using a seasonal route. In winter they are located in sub tropical areas to calve. They then make their way down to Antarctica to feed.

To get to Antarctica the transport are boats. From land to the ice there are called Zodiacs. Zodiacs are a motorised boats that can Boats are called Icebreakers. These boats are used for breaking through the thick ice when you reach Antarctica. The Icebreakers are also used in the summer. These boats were not made back then the explores and scientists used wooden sailing vessels. These sailing vessels would sometimes get stuck in the ice or sink.

In Antarctica the land transport is usually by foot or vehicles. Some of the vehicles include: snowmobiles, bulldozers, tractors and sledge dogs. Depending on where the people are from, if the scientists are from New Zealand they can also use quads. Sledge dogs was the first type of vehicle land transport used in Antarctica.

The air transport used in Antarctica are Airplanes and Helicopters. Antarctica has 20 places where the aeroplanes can land and 42 places where the Helicopter can land.
The First Airplane in Antarctica was in 1911 when Douglas Mawson had first took flight but cashed though luckily, nobody was hurt. The first Airplane flight to succeed was from Hubert Wilkins in 1928.
