What comes in your mind when you think about Antarctica? All white, shivering cold, a place where polar bears and penguins reign? Or, the movie Frozen?

Well, if you thought about the former, you are absolutely right, but for the latter, no, it’s not about Elsa, Olaf or Anna. Antarctica is the land of ice and the habitants are not limited to polar bears and penguins, there are many, many more. But we still don’t know much about this white frigid land.

So those who want to explore this icy continent with me, let’s take a tour, at www.coolantarctica.com — a site with the region’s facts, pictures and travel guide.

Coolantarctica is a place for the lovers of Antarctica or those who want to know about this less-talked about continent. The site literally gives you cold feelings and you get engrossed immediately in the pictures of this icy land on the header, which keep changing. You can explore the site through the main menu at the top with, “Antarctica Facts”, “Antarctica travel”, “Clothing and Footwear”, “Schools” and “Antarcticana” — all these sections have detailed drop down lists.

For instance, you can read and see polar animals, facts, history, famous ships, environment, valleys, icebergs, etc., all in ‘Antarctica Facts’; you can check who travelled the region and when the various trips took place, in the “Travel” section.

Of course, since this icy land is so different from the rest of the world, so are the essential things that one may need there, such as clothing, footwear and baggage, which has been discussed in detail in “Clothing and Footwear”. And when it comes to capturing the beauty and the enigma of this vast white land, the “Pictures” section does justice by showing the amazing views you have never witnessed before.

For those interested in participating in quizzes, reading about the historic figures and presentations on Antarctic, the section “Schools” is just the right choice for you. Lastly, you can read about the exclusive Antarctic projects and books in “Antarcticana” section.

The site is created by an Antarctica enthusiast, who has dedicated his life for this icy region in order to show the world what it’s like to live in Antarctica; he has shared his knowledge and experiences and urges the visitors to share theirs if they have any, or if they want to know more, they can write to him.

So kids, are you ready to take this cold trip? Visit: www.coolantarctica.com
