| It takes only 30 seconds to finish the journey in the South Pole. Visitors to the South Pole like to walk around, so there is a clear path in the snow there. Some visitors are so excited that they stand on their heads and have their pictures taken with flags of the Antarctic countries in the background. The United States has kept a base in the South Pole since 1956. Chinese scientists and technological engineers have built an observation station there, too. The South Pole itself is marked by a two-meter bamboo pole stuck in the ice. The ice cap (冰盖), which is 2,850 meters thick, moves 12 meters a year in the direction of Buenos Aires, Argentina. So the bamboo pole has to be moved back the same distance. The air in the South Pole is the cleanest on earth. Scientists from different countries have been working on making the Antarctic a world park to save it from being polluted by the wrong use of its oil and other mineral resources. |
