The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is generally greater in elevation than West Antarctica, and includes the Gamburtsev Mountain Range in the center.
- The geographic South Pole is located within East Antarctica.
- Apart from small areas of the coast, East Antarctica is permanently covered by ice and it has relatively low biodiversity, with only a small number of species of terrestrial plants, animals, algae, and lichens.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The East Antarctica article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 48 and blocks with 32: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
