Why is Antarctica frigid and desolate at the bottom of the world?

Solution

The earth was a great landmass millions of years ago, which was not divided into continents. When it started pushing apart, various landmasses and water bodies got formed. During this process, South America drifted to join North America. It opened up the Drake Passage to give rise to a cold circumpolar current which described the region called Antarctica and pushed it to the globe and made it pretty cold and unproteetive.
