Most Amazing Things About Antarctica With The Cousteaus #earthday

This Earth Day let’s take a moment with Ashlan and Philippe Cousteau, Antarctica2020 Champions, to appreciate how amazing Antarctica and the Southern Ocean is, and all the benefits they provide to the planet and humankind. Antarctica is one of the most iconic places on Earth – its ice plays a major role in keeping the planet cool and liveable and its powerful ocean current transports essential nutrients that feed the rest of the ocean. It is also home to incredible wildlife, including the tiny but mighty krill that stands at the center of the food web in the region.
