The Antarctic tundra, found exclusively in Antarctica, is predominantly covered by a thick, permanent ice cap nearly five kilometers deep. Contrary to its current barren state, this region once had a temperate climate, evidenced by fossilized plants, reptiles, and marsupials. The Antarctic Peninsula, also known as Marielandia, showcases the mildest climate in the region, supporting two vascular plant species. This area is home to abundant wildlife, including penguins, seabirds, and seals, highlighting the stark contrast between its past and present environmental conditions.
