Interaction with human:

 *Positives

• There are aproximately 5000 people living in the Antartic pole. This is positive because there are more natural resources and  having fewer people living there conserves more natural space and there are less pollution.

*Negatives

• Humans affect the Antarctic because they produce too much pollution constantly and global warming and that causes the ozone layer to deteriorate even more.
