Ice Melting in Antarctica!

Antarctica is Earth’s fth largest

continent. Almost all of Antarctica

is covered with ice. It is the coldest,

windiest, and driest continent. That

over there melts?

protect our water bodies from being

polluted, we have to take action. What can

we do to help stop polluting the oceans?
