Explanation:

1. "However" is a conjunctive adverb starting a sentence, so it needs a comma after it.
2. "at the world" is incorrect preposition usage; the correct phrase is "in the world".
3. "extreme" modifies the adjective "high", so it needs to be the adverb form "extremely".
4. "antarctica" is a proper noun (a continent) and must be capitalized as "Antarctica".

1. A. Add a comma after However
2. B. Change at to in
3. B. Change extreme to extremely
4. C. Change antarctica to Antarctica
