Antarctica is located at the southernmost part of the Earth. The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude located at approximately 66.5 degrees north of the Equator, marking the southernmost point of the Arctic region.
Antarctica has resources such as coal, iron ore, gold, oil and gas. However, due to the sensitivity and environmental impact of mining, the exploitation of these resources is prohibited under the Antarctic Treaty System. The Antarctic region is characterized by ice sheets, glaciers, mountain ranges and a very cold climate.
Antarctica holds great geopolitical significance due to its abundance of natural resources and strategic location. Ownership and access to these resources have been a subject of international debate and agreement, which led to the creation of the Antarctic Treaty System. Climate change is causing the ice sheets in Antarctica to melt at an accelerating rate which contributes to global sea level rise. The change in temperature and currents are also affecting the wildlife in the region.
The main purpose of the Antarctic Treaty System is to preserve the unique ecosystem of Antarctica and its scientific value while promoting international cooperation and preventing militarization and territorial claims in the region. The Antarctic Treaty System is a set of international agreements that established Antarctica as a scientific preserve. It regulates the use and management of the region and ensures peaceful cooperation among the countries that have signed the treaty.

The Antarctic Circle is an imaginary line that marks the southernmost point on Earth where the sun can be seen at least once a year, during the summer solstice. It is located at 66.5 degrees south latitude. There are currently 54 countries that have signed and ratified the Antarctic Treaty System.
The factors that contribute to the climate and weather patterns of the Antarctic region include latitude, ocean currents, wind patterns, and air temperature. The climate in Antarctica is extremely cold, with temperatures that can drop as low as -80°C. It is also very dry and windy, and most of the continent is covered in ice and snow.
The Antarctic region plays a crucial role in global climate patterns by regulating ocean currents and helping to maintain a stable climate around the world. Climate change impacts the Antarctic region by causing ice to melt, which leads to rising sea levels, changing ocean currents, and altered weather patterns.

Locations closer to the equator tend to be warmer and have more consistent temperatures throughout the year, while locations closer to the poles tend to have larger temperature differences between seasons. Factors include latitude, altitude, distance from large bodies of water, prevailing winds, ocean currents, and topography.
Winds can bring in moisture, heat, or cold air depending on their direction and source. For example, the prevailing westerlies in North America tend to bring in cool, moist air from the Pacific Ocean. Higher altitudes generally have lower temperatures and less precipitation due to decreased air pressure and moisture in the atmosphere.
Topography refers to the physical features of the land, such as mountains or coastlines. These features can affect the flow of air and moisture in the atmosphere, leading to different microclimates within a region. Ocean currents are large-scale movements of water throughout the world's oceans.

Impacts can include rising sea levels, more severe weather events such as hurricanes and droughts, changes in precipitation patterns, and disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture. The greenhouse effect is the natural warming of the Earth's surface due to the trapping of heat by atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. However, human activities such as burning fossil fuels have led to an increase in greenhouse gases, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.
