Protecting "The Ice What is "The Ice"?
1 Antarctica -the coldest and windiest continent on Earth-has a nickname. It is called "The Ice. This is
because the world's largest and thickest single sheet of ice covers almost all the land. Antarctica is
uninhabited except for people who live on research stations, or bases. Many different animals call this
land home, though. In fact, fifteen species of whales and dolphins and seven different types of penguins
can be found here
Protecting the Land's Resources
2 Many nations have studied Antarctica. It was not until 1991 that groups from around the world began
looking at ways to protect the waters, plants, and animals that live here. Overfishing in the waters around
Antarctica has begun to threaten several species of fish, some of which are endangered. It has also
affected the other animals that live in the Antarctic ecosystem
Keeping Track of kn
3 One of the biggest areas of concern is the krill population. These tiny animals are found in all the
oceans of the world. The largest numbers are found in Antarctica About 500 million tons of krill live
there. These animals can live up to ten years, which is a long time considering how many animals make
kill a part of their diets. These shrimp-like creatures are food not only for other fish, but also for penguins
whales, and seals. But the krill population is decreasing, in part because some whale populations have
been increasing Fewer krill would affect the entire ecosystem of the region
Protecting the World's Natural Laboratory
4 Conservation groups and scientists from all over the world have been hard at work. For example, some
groups are trying to create protected areas. Fishing ships are not allowed in these areas. Stricter laws to
protect the kill, whales, and seabirds are also underway. All of these efforts will help protect Antarctica
a land
that many believe is one the world's greatest natural wonders

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
