Asia is the largest continent. Largest how?
• It is the largest area of land.• It has the largest number of people living
there.China and India are the only two countries in the world that are home to more than one billion people.
Antarctica is the coldest continent and very few people live there.
Each of these continents (apart from Antarctica) is made up of different countries.
Scientists stay in Antarctica for a few months. They want to find out more about this special place.
