Does anyone own Antarctica? No, they don’t
Does any one country own Antarctica? No, no, they don’t
But if you look you will see many territories
And a territorial claim or two
From Mt. Erebus, to the Southern Sea
Seven sovereign states have made claims on eight territories.

Do people live in Antarctica, yes, they do
Do scientists work in Antarctica, yes, yes, there are a few
From all over the world,
Many different nations have built a research station, or two

Did Robert Scott, in 1912
Have a sense of the importance of the ice shelves?
Did Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian man
Have a sense of discovery as he traveled across this icy land?

Six months of winter (slide down) six months of summer (up)
Six months of winter (slide down) six months of summer

Do fish live in Antarctica? Yes they do. Ice fish live in Antarctica
And they’re super cool. They have anti-freeze so they won’t ever sneeze
And the ice doesn’t form and their blood doesn’t freeze.

It’s the highest, driest, coldest, windiest, continent on earth
98 % is covered with ice. - Antarctica! Brrrrrrrrr…..“I’m cold!”
