Antarctic (or Antarctic) circle is one of the five large galaxies or similarities of latitudes that represent the Earth's map. In the picture above shown with a dotted line, this circle of latitude lies about 66.33 degrees southwards of the equator. From the Antarctic Circle to the Southwest, the duration of the uninterrupted sun or moon is increasing to six month at the Southeast.

Antarctica's climate is the colder and windier place on earth. Indeed, the Antarctic has been the lowliest ever measured on Earth (-129.3ºF) and the average winters are between -40º and -94ºF. Weather at the South Pole.

In this section you will find a brief overview of the area' s present Antarctica region, accompanied by a map, which includes historic cards of former lands and kingdoms that include Antarctica today. Maximal extension of the Arctic shield during glacier cycling, e.g. at 21,000 years before the present. Changes in circumference and volumes are intimately related to changes in the earthing line of the West Arabian shield due to the drop in ocean-levels.

Glaciers above the eastern Arctic centre were generally slimmer than today and varying mainly due to variations in accumulations. In this section you will find photocopies of over 70 years old overviews. This page contains hypertext and general information and referrals.

The Wikipedia entry to which reference is made is therefore the source of the intro. Historic charts are contained in the continental, national and dependence records. Former map of lands more or less maintained by a current land or containing an area in only one or two lands will be added to the current country'stlas.
