Do you know anything about “Antarcnica”? ...
Antarcnica is a snow-covered continent. The average temperature at the South Pole is -50°C. Few
plants and animals can live on the land because it is too cold for them. There are a few scientists
from different countries who live and work on special bases in Antarctica. On midsummer’s day (On
December 22nd), there is daylight for 24 hours and so during this period, only a few tourist ships and
planes come to see this strange land. But in the winter there is no daylight for months. It must be a
terrible place during the winter. The snow is always there – in the winter and in the summer, but in
fact - little snow falls in the year (an average of about 12 -20 cm). People say that it can be a
beautiful place. At first, it appears frightening but after a little time, some people fall in love with it.
