Antarctica, magnificent in its beauty and unmerciful in its brutality, is a land unto itself.War has never touched this pristine continent, keeping it pure.And yet here, in a land mass greater than Europe and America together, more men have died violently than naturally since the never-ending cold makes it virtually germ-free.
Nowadays, Antarctica is a haven of scientific research and international detente, as scientists from all over the world, regardless of political relations, gather in their heated buildings in the ice cold continent and work together.In Antarctica people are able to eat four hearty meals everyday and never gain an ounce because the extreme cold uses more calories than could be cut out using any diet.
