Question

【题目】

Lisa has been to Antarctica (南极洲). Here is what she wrote about the trip.

Tuesday December 2 We planned to go to Rothera (罗瑟拉站) that morning. We would stay there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on the earth, sometimes you can’t fly at all. We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather. It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly.

Wednesday December 3 After waking up in Antarctica for the first time, I can understand why everybody who comes here loves the place. It is really beautiful. We are staying at Rothera Survey Base (基地) with mountains of ice all around. It’s about minus 2℃ today. It is very cold, but the regulars ( 正 式 队 员 ) here are often seen walking around in T-shirts.

Thursday December 4 I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here. It’s a bit colder today, about minus 5℃, but it’s not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course (课程) before we are allowed to go off the base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.

Saturday December 6 Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket). The most wonderful thing about this place is how the scenery (风景) changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad (疯了). I’d step outside in the morning and think, “I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there every day.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving —slowly and thankfully.
