ANTARCTICA BIOSPHERE

Ecosystem and biodiversity of the Antarctic

A trip to the heart of the polar ecosystem

Antarctica, the continent's southernmost of our planet, is a vast natural laboratory that is home to a unique biodiversity, adapted to the most extreme conditions of the Earth. BIOSPHERE invites us to discover the mysteries and wonders of this unique ecosystem, where flora, fauna and landscapes ice cream exist in a delicate balance that we must protect.

Ecosystem of the Antarctic: A fragile balance

Although at first glance it seems like a desert of ice, the Antarctic ecosystem is rich and complex. Its vast layers of ice, which contain 70% of the fresh water in the world, interact with oceans, skies, and winds to regulate the global climate. This continent plays a crucial role in the stability of the earth's climate and is a thermometer of the natural effects of climate change.

Flora: resilient Life on the ice

In an environment where temperatures reach up to -80°C, the flora of Antarctica is limited but surprisingly resistant:

Mosses and lichens: Represent the largest part of the vegetation, adapted to grow in crevices and rocks.
Algae: Proliferate under the sea ice, forming an essential part of the food chain.
Two flowering plants: The Colobanthus quitensis and the Deschampsia antarctica they are the only species with flowers that manage to thrive near the coast.

Animals: Adaptations extraordinary

The extreme cold and limited resources have led to a wildlife perfectly adapted to:

Penguins: Species such as the emperor and the Adelie are emblems of the region.
Seals: Including the seal, Weddell and leopard seals, that have been adapted for diving in the icy waters.
Sea birds: As albatrosses and petrels that can travel large distances in search of food.
Cetaceans: Blue whales, humpback and killer whales that visit these waters rich in krill, the base of the marine food web.

Landscapes: the Beauty and majesty icy

Landscapes of antarctica are impressive:

Glacier mass: Towers of ice that reflect shades of blue under the sun polar.
Steep mountains: Some emerge as rocky islands in a sea of ice.
Ross sea and Weddell Sea: Home of the vast ice shelves and marine life is unique.
Southern lights: Dance in the night sky, providing a natural spectacle is unforgettable.

Challenges and conservation

The antarctic continent is facing threats from global warming and human activity. BIOSPHERE seeks not only to explore, but also to educate and raise awareness on the importance of preserving this vital ecosystem. Since the regulation of the global climate to its role as a refuge for biodiversity, Antarctica is a reminder of our responsibility to the planet.
