Been stalking your site for a few months now, so figured I should have a crack at one of your quizzes finally!
1. By huddling together in a large group.
2. I’m guessing something ocean related …
3. By examining the thickness of each year’s layer of snow and what gasses and other things frozen in each layer.
4. I’m guessing yes, to survive that level of cold.
5. a topography map of a section of the antarctic.

1. Yes that’s how the Emperor penguins survive the winter.
2. Did you check the time vortex for a giggle?
3. There are seasonal layers like tree rings, and the gases are particularly important. There’s even been ash found from volcanic eruptions half the world away.
4. There are 2 flowering plants in Antarctica, a grass and something from the carnation family. That always amazes me, I think of carnations as delicate.
5. Yes it is topographical, and it could be something amazing.

You did well.
