  Antarctica, the world's highest and most isolated continent, has so far remained a safe haven for unique and complex systems of marine and terrestrial life. Scientific studies there led to the discovery of a hole in the ozone layer and have increased understanding of the greenhouse effect . This introduction to the continent describes its unique natural history and its role in determining the ecological future of the planet.
