It is the last continent to be discovered, located at the southernmost tip of the earth,
It is known as the "White Continent" due to its perennial snow and ice cover!
This is the dream place of many people's lives,
Some people will not hesitate to give everything they have in order to see it...
Here is the world's most majestic glacier, the world's most magnificent scenery is here, dreamy is not like the earth.
Polar day and polar night dominate this place, making it extremely mysterious.
Countless lovely beings survive in this extreme land, unrestrained and cute.
Antarctica, known as the "Seventh Continent," is the last continent on Earth to be discovered and the only continent on Earth that has no people to settle. It has been silently located at the southernmost tip of the earth, covered by more than 95% snow and ice, making it also known as the "White Continent"
When I was young, Antarctica was just a name, and when I grew up, gradually, white ice fields, blue glaciers, huge waves, brilliant auroras, and swaying cute penguins converged into the vivid appearance of Antarctica, and Antarctica also became a dream land
Many people yearn for Antarctica, but rarely go there. Mr. Charlie, a good friend of the walking net, and his "Story of the Great Traveler" team have traveled to the South Pole many times. So let's follow their end to see what the real Antarctic is like.
Antarctica has two seasons of cold and warm every year, with April-October being the cold season and November-March being the warm season. The cold season near the poles is polar night, when the aurora often appears near the South Pole Circle, when the aurora borealis often appears, while the warm season is the opposite, polar day, and the sun is always obliquely illuminated.
The best tourist season in Antarctica is from late October to early March, and December to January is the hottest time on the Antarctic Peninsula. Seabirds are active, little penguins break out of their shells, and seals are basking in the sun, which is an excellent tourist period!
In Antarctica, there are many places that are the most spectacular and unmissable.
Brown Bluff
Located on the shores of the Antarctic Strait, the Brown Cliff is the highest point on the Antarctic Peninsula, and the 2,440-foot-tall rust-colored cliff is made of volcanic rock. It is a sanctuary for the next generation of Adélie penguins, Papua penguins, black-backed gulls and cape petrels.
Mikkelson harbour
Discovered in April 1901 by the Swedish Antarctic expedition Nordenskjöld, the port was once used to moor whaling ships and was later named after Norwegian whaling captain Klarius Mikkelsen, which is currently home to a relatively concentrated colony of Kintu penguins.
Gerlache strait
The Gerass Strait is an important waterway connecting the Antarctic Peninsula and several surrounding islets, named after the Belgian naval officer Gerasch.
On December 14, 1897, the captain of the Belgian ship, Gerasch, led a team from Patagonia, Chile, to the Antarctic; on February 16 of the following year, when the ship reached 71 ° 31 ′, it was frozen on the surface of the sea by the Antarctic early autumn ice floes, and was able to return after 377 days. This is the first team in the history of human Antarctic exploration to survive a long and harsh winter and be lucky to escape.
Paradise bay
Paradise Bay is located in a fjord surrounded by giant icebergs on three sides, where the Argentine Antarctic Research Station is located.
Not only is it home to a large number of Golden Tu penguins, but it is also a frequent haunt of the long-backed whale.
Cuverville island
Cooverville Island is the largest kintu penguin colony on the Antarctic Peninsula. Even in the summer of Antarctica, the entire island is still covered with ice and snow, and the Penguins of Jintu have come and gone, swinging and swinging, and stepping out of a neat road back to their homes, which is called the "Penguin Highway" in Antarctica.
Deception island
The Wonder Island is shaped like a broken ring and is formed by black volcanic rock. During the Ice Age, the Antarctic submarine volcano erupted, and the crater collapsed to form a unique landform of Fantasy Island.
Half Moon Island
Half Moon Bay, she is like a brilliant jewel, set in the crown of the Antarctic. The island's jagged cliffs are home to large penguins, and are frequented by Antarctic terns, black-backed gulls, snow-white Antarctic seabirds, Wilson petrels, and some seals.
South Shetland islands
The South Shetland Islands are located in the northern part of the Antarctic continent, far from Cape Horn in South America. Many countries have chosen to set up scientific research stations here, and the Great Wall Station of China is located on King George Island in the archipelago.
Antarctica, currently the purest place on Earth, has also been polluted and affected in recent years due to global warming and garbage problems.
I hope that each of us will take action to reduce pollution and waste, and the earth and our common home need to be maintained together, so that the pure land of Antarctica can last forever.
