What are the natural dangers in Antarctica?

Answer 1

Extreme cold, hurricane force winds, crevasses, no sun rises for days, weeks or months, lack of any form of survivable landscape assets, extreme dryness -- all are dangerous for humans in Antarctica.

Answer 2

Natural Hazards in Antarctica include blizzards, global warming, introduced species and melting of ice. People have over looked the Natural Hazards of Antarctica because there are so many human impacts that will change Antarctica. Such as rubbish, seweage and waste, poisons such as DDT and whaling/over fishing. The animals in Antarctica will die if we don't stop and maybe Antarctica itself will melt so much and flood other countries. We have to reduce reuse and recycle if we are to live in this world.

Another Answer

Natural hazards on the continent itself include all dangers related to extreme cold weather. Hypothermia, frostbite, and death are all dangers on the continent.

Answer 3

There really is only one: you can freeze to death quickly if you are not dressed for the extreme cold.
