	tundra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Antarctic tundra occurs on Antarctica and on several antarctic and subantarctic islands, including South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and the Kerguelen Islands.
		In contrast with the arctic tundra, the antarctic tundra lacks a large mammal fauna, mostly due to its physical isolation from the other continents.
		The flora and fauna of Antarctica and the Antarctic Islands (south of 60º south latitude) are protected by the Antarctic Treaty.

	Antarctica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The continent of Antarctica is located mostly south of the Antarctic Circle, surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
		Physically Antarctica is divided in two by mountains close to the neck between the Ross Sea and the Weddell Sea.
		The Antarctic Treaty prohibits any measures of a military nature in Antarctica, such as the establishment of military bases and fortifications, the carrying out of military manoeuvres, or the testing of any type of weapon.

	Antarctica ecozone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The ecozone includes Antarctica and several island groups in the southern Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
		Several Antarctic island groups are considered part of the Antarctica ecozone, including South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, South Orkney Islands, the South Shetland Islands, Bouvet Island, the Crozet Islands, Prince Edward Islands, Heard Island, the Kerguelen Islands, and the McDonald Islands.
		The Antarctic flora subsequently died out in Antarctica, but is still an important component of the flora of southern Neotropic (South America) and Australasia, which were also former parts of Gondwana.

		New Zealand and its surrounding islands are a distinctive sub-region of Australasian ecozone.
		All the Australasian lands are home to the Antarctic flora, descended from the flora of southern Gondwana, including the coniferous podocarps and Araucaria pines, and the broadleafed southern beech (Nothofagus), and proteas (Proteaceae).
		The island groups to the north and east, including Micronesia, Fiji, and Polynesia, are part of the Oceania ecozone.

		The island groups north and east of New Guinea and New Caledonia, including Bismarck Archipelago, Admiralty Islands, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, were pushed up by the collision of the Australian plate with other oceanic plates.
		These islands, collectively known as the East Melanesian Islands, were colonized by plants and some animals from New Guinea and New Caledonia, and are considered part of the Australasian ecozone based on those affinities.
		Further north and east are the Pacific island groups of Micronesia, Fiji, and Polynesia, which are also of relatively recent volcanic origin, and constitute the separate Oceania ecozone, although they share many ecological affinities with Australasia.

		The Arctic is characterized by treeless tundra, carpeted with low-lying vegetation of mosses, lichens, herbs, and dwarf shrubs.
		The region's marine ecozones - the Arctic and the Arctic Archipelago, including Hudson and James bays are as vast and complex as the terrestrial ecozones.
		Yet, one thing is sure: the environment of these ecozones is fragile, slow to change, and easy to disturb.

		Although legends and speculation about a Terra Australis ("Southern Land") go back to antiquity, the first commonly accepted sighting of the continent occurred in 1820 and the first verified landing in 1821.
		A 1513 map by Admiral Piri Reis, however, contains a southern continent that bears a possible resemblance to the Antarctic coast.

	biology - Neotropic
		The Neotropic ecozone is a terrestrial ecoregion which includes South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
		This ecozone includes South and Central America, the Mexican lowlands, the Caribbean islands, and southern Florida, because these regions share a large number of plant and animal groups.
		It is sometimes used as a synonym for the tropical area of South America, although the ecozone also includes temperate southern South America.
