Why Antarctica Is Cold.
Antarctica is cold because the sun is always low in the sky over Antarctica - sun light is spread out over a large area. There are 24 hours of darkness each day during the winter. The whiteness of the ice reflects much of the suns energy. Antarctica is high, the average height is 2500 m (the height of Mt Taranaki) and cold ocean surrounds Antarctica.
