Antarctica

Do you want to visit  the coldest place in the world? Thousands of tourists visit Antarctica every year. They go there in the summer because it is never dark. The sun shines all day and all night. It is very cold in Antarctica in the summer, but not as cold as in the winter. In the winter the temperature is very low, sometimes  -80C  and it is always dark, all day and all night.

Most tourists go to Antarctica by ship. They usually sleep and eat on the ship because there are no hotels in Antarctica.

Tourists can see some amazing animals in Antarctica. The biggest animal in the world lives there. It is the Blue Whale. A Blue Whale is 30 meters long and can weigh 100,000 kilos. But only lucky tourists see one.

Another animal tourists always see when they visit Antarctica is the penguin. Thousands of penguins live there. Penguins are strange birds; they can’t fly, but they can swim well. They look like little fat men wearing black clothes.

Antarctica is a very cold place to visit, but tourists love it.
