The world's largest unoccupied land, larger than four Indias, holds 100 billion barrels of oil

The largest uninhabited land in the world, with an area larger than four Indias and oil reserves of 100 billion barrels Hello, welcome to the new episode, the world is facing an increasingly serious energy crisis, countries around the world are attaching great importance to domestic resources, but also actively looking for external energy supplements. Antarctica, as a no-man's land, has not been large-scale development because it is too cold, and there is a huge amount of energy resources under the ice, which has a very important role in our study of the earth.

The Antarctic continent is vast at 13.9 million square kilometers, an area larger than four Indias. But such a vast land does not belong to any country in the world, it belongs to the wealth of all mankind. Located at the pole of the Earth, the weather is very cold, and ordinary creatures can hardly survive here. Antarctica has set two records for being both the lowest and coldest region in the world.

At an average altitude of 2,350 meters, the Antarctic can only see a vast expanse of snow and ice as far as the eye can see. Beneath this continent lie hundreds of mineral resources and more than 100 billion barrels of oil. Among these minerals, there are various precious metals and rare minerals, so some people also call the Antarctic iceberg treasure house. With such a huge amount of resources, it is natural that many countries go to Antarctica!

Concerned about the environmental damage caused by the exploitation of Antarctica, many countries signed an International Antarctic Convention, which made Antarctica independent of any country. But some countries are allowed to set up research stations in Antarctica, where the remains of many prehistoric creatures are buried underground, which is of great significance for scientific research.

After 1983, China also began to attach importance to the role of the Antarctic, has set up a number of research stations, stationed a large number of researchers, every year to carry out several Antarctic scientific research activities, committed to protecting the Antarctic ecological environment.

Although the Antarctic climate is not suitable for humans, it is also a paradise for some hardy animals, such as penguins, seals, and sea lions, who are the masters of this continent and thrive here. They are naturally very cold resistant, and can resist cold snow and wind. If you have a chance to travel to Antarctica, be sure to keep warm. Here you will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful aurora, endless glaciers。
