During a few months in December, there are sufficient nutrients (fertilizers such as N, P, and K) in the surface ocean waters to support tremendous blooms of marine plants. The nearly constant sunlight (sunset can be at 11:30pm and sunrise at 3:30am along the Antarctic Peninsula) during summer creates perfect conditions for the microscopic marine plants (phytoplankton) to multiply in vast quantities.
Shelters in Antarctica are called igloo satellite cabins. They are light eight field shelters that are hemispheric in shape and mostly red in color.

Shelters are provided on each research station and vary from dorm rooms to Quonset huts, depending on the season. Field camps employ tents. Every research station supplies its own form of shelter.
Polar bears, for example, are remarkably adapted to withstand the incredible cold (-70 below zero sometimes) of the Arctic North Pole - (Please Note: there are NO polar bears at the antarctic South Pole).
But when temperatures do get extremely cold, like -70 below zero, during a raging blizzard, polar bears will actually scrape a snow wall for protection against the wind. Polar bears will also dig a den in the snow to deliver their babies.
But most of the time in the winter, when temperatures just hit
-30 below zero, polar bears sleep out in the open on the snow. When the pack ice forms in deep winter, the polar bears go out on the ice to hunt seals. Polar bears think nothing of diving in and out of the frozen slushy water when traveling from ice floe to ice floe; and polar bears are great swimmers sometimes paddling miles out to sea away from any land or ice berg.
Each follicle of the polar bears fur is hollow. This hollow traps air which increases the warmth of the polar bear's fur. So again, polar bears stay outside in the cold for most of the freezing winter.
People who work and live in Antarctica are assigned to shelter locations, generally dormitories. Field camp workers take tents for shelter.
On expeditions, explorers carry their own shelter with them.
There are buildings, portable tents, huts, excess military shelters which all serve as 'shelter'.
Buildings are useful for shelter. Scott tents and Quonset huts are also used, depending on the location and the season.
the types of shelter used in antarctica by scientists is a special laboratory brought to antarctica. we can also build an igloo for shelter over in antarctica for visitors or anyone.

You will very rarely see animals in Antarctica but they are sometimes there if you are talking about animals that live in warmer places than the cold Antarctica. Animals such as emperor penguins are often since this is their habitat.
What kinds of shelter is used in Antarctica?
Dorms, tents, huts and some temporary shelters are useful in Antarctica as shelter.
What are temporary and travel shelters in Antarctica?
Any temporary or travel shelter in Antarctica is provided by the person requiring shelter.
How does a dragonfly find shelter?
the shelter of a dragon fly living in Antarctica is nothing because they would die there and iff you found them, they would be in a cube of ice.
Does Antarctica have seagulls?
No, but you can find gull-like animals there, such as Skuas.
Where do they find animals for lab testing?
they usually get the animals from the shelter. they buy them they don't adopt
Can you turn a kill shelter into a no kill shelter?
Yes, you can turn a kill shelter into a no kill shelter, but you would need to be prepared to find a way to care for any animals that you were unable to find homes for.
What enables an animals to survive in an ecosystem?
Animals find shelter in the ecosystem. The animals are predators. They use the resources they have.
Where in Antarctica are animals found?
The only animals you can find on Antarctica are sea mammals and sea birds that visit Antarctica's beaches to breed. Otherwise, it is too cold there to support animal life, and there is no food chain.
