Antarctica is the one and only continent where you won't find any reptiles or snakes. These cold-blooded creatures need some warmth to keep cosy, and the frosty climate doesn't quite cut it for them. So, if snakes give you the heebie-jeebies, you're in the clear for a worry-free trip to Antarctica!

WORD OF THE DAY

Whinge

To complain. For example: ‘He tends to whinge about minor inconveniences.’ Pronounced as WINJ.

Quote of the day
