'''Antarctica''' is the southernmost [[continent]] on Earth, covering the region of the [[South Pole]], the coldest continent on the earth, and the last continental landmass to be discovered by man. Although its northernmost part has gotten slightly warmer in recent years (see [[Antarctic Peninsula]]), overall it has been getting colder and accumulating more ice. This, of course, contradicts the [[global warming theory]].
