B: Wildlife in the Antarctic is absolutely terrific. It happened because of the unique natural environment and long isolation of the Antarctic. There are no mammals and freshwater fish at all, but there are some kinds of bacteria, fungi, lichen, algae, etc. In the Antarctic sea, one can meet seals, fur seals, and whales. The seaside is full of penguins and seabirds.

C: In spite of being extremely "unfriendly," the Antarctic sea is full of fish that are highly valuable. Some western areas of Antarctica are very prosperous in the way of extracting mineral resources and rare-earth metals like coal, ironstone, silver, gold, platinum, and many others. However, according to the international agreement, any extracting activity is prohibited.

D: In the Antarctic, human impact on climate is tending to be minimal, which gives humanity the opportunity to use that area to research the problem of climate change. Thus, the received data show the real situation in one of the greatest modern problems without great distortion.

E: Eight countries claim the Antarctic to be their part. Luckily, after the International Geophysical Year in 1957—1958, where 12 countries took part, it was decided that the Antarctic must be used for the benefit of the whole humanity. International collaboration is welcome in research and scientific expeditions.
