Antarctica
Items: 38
Kills: 30
Welcome to the world's highest, driest, and coldest continent, Antarctica.
Sights to See
 Antarctica is a vast continent, ninety five percent of which is covered with ice that averages seventy two hundred feet thick. The remaining two percent of land is barren rock. Although annual precipitation is less than two inches, you've arrived during one of the rare snowfalls on this continent.

The presence of ice breakers and research stations is not a rarity on this vast continent. In fact the forty two year-round research stations on Antarctica are about the only signs of civilization you're likely to find in Antarctica.

Whether your visit to Antarctica is for research or pleasure, you're sure to find the continent interesting. Be sure to dress warmly, as average temperatures never rise above zero degrees Celsius, even in the summer. In the winter, the temperature can fall to as low as minus sixty degrees Celsius (or minus seventy six degrees Fahrenheit). If you find yourself falling into the icy water, get out quick, as hypothermia will set in almost instantaneously.
Researchers
 You will arrive in the area that RX Tech has staked out as their research camp. As such expect to find employees of RX Tech in the area. Be aware that they're not a friendly bunch, and they certainly don't take to tourists wandering onto their camp sites.
Local Fauna
 There are lots of species of animals indigenous to Antarctica such as seals and penguins, but you'll not encounter a single one in your time here. You will run into some Siberian Huskies that the RX Tech people brought onto the continent. Don't hesitate to shoot down any dog you come across, as they were banned from the continent in 1994 to protect the seal population.
Souvenirs
There are a couple of padlocked doors in the compound, and there aren't any keys to be found. However, you will find the next best thing, which is a crowbar. Use it judiciously. There is one key you will need to unlock the gate mechanism.
Hidden Treasures
 There are three secrets on this level. You will be able to see the first two, often in passing. They are not irretrievable if you pass by them, so you can always go back and get them. The third secret is the first you will encounter, but the last you can get because it requires a key that is quite hard to obtain.
Hazards
 The biggest problem for you on this level will likely be dying of hypothermia from dips in the water. Avoid the water as much as possible. Aside from that, there's not much else to worry about except for the guards, but they're not terribly tough.
