Antarctica(南极洲)is the coldest place on the earth, but every year thousands of tourists go there. Why do they go? There are no famous buildings, no hotels and no restaurants. There are some beaches, but nobody wants to go swimming. Why do people want to take a vacation in Antarctica?

Most people go to see the birds, the animals and the amazing scenery. There are seals(海豹)lying on the ice. There are whales swimming in the ocean. You can also watch penguins jumping into water from icebergs(冰山). It’s one of the last untouched places on the planet.

It’s possible to visit Antarctica by plane, but most people go there by ship. That’s because the ships are comfortable places to stay, and the journey (by sea) is part of the vacation. All tourists visit Antarctica in the summer. In the winter it’s too cold for visitors, but in the summerfrom November to Marchit’s warmer than many people think. In some parts of Antarctica in January, it’s about 0℃. So it can be warmer there than it is in Beijing in January. When you visit there, you don’t need to bring a lot of special clothes. Instead, you need to bring sunglasses. The sunshine on the snow and ice is very bright.

Tourists are not the only people who go to Antarctica. In the summer months there are about 4,000 scientists and other people living and working there, and a few of them stay for the long, drink winters. Tourists can visit some of these people and learn about their work in this amazing place.

Huang is from Liaoning Province. She started the 70 Munros Challenge three years ago to raise money for Christian Aid which helps end poverty(贫穷). She really enjoyed climbing mountains so she decided to climb all 282.

“ When I heard that I was the first person from China to have climbed all 282 Munros, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep the first night,” said Huang. Huang climbed more than 100 on her own and others with friends.

Huang discovered her love for mountain climbing when her son went to university. She climbed her first Munro, Beinn Narnain in July 2015 and completed her final one, Meall Chuaich on November 18, 2017.

“What I enjoyed the most about these walks is when you reach the top,” she said. “ ... you forget all the worries at work, your life, and just don’t think about anything at all...”

Huang came to the UK in 2004. Her next goal is to walk Hadrian’s wall and climb some of Scotland’s small mountains.

Hi there!

Can you help me? I’m doing a project at school. The title?‘Will life be better in 2100?’What do you think? Thanks you for your ideas!

Josh

a. Hi Josh! I think life will be great. People will live in‘smart houses’. A central computer will control the temperature, the lights, everything! These houses will be ecological and use solar energy and recycled water. A‘smart’mirror in the bathroomthat's right, it’s a mirror with a computer!will check your health. And guess what? Robots will cook and do the housework.

Maya

b. Pollution is a big problem today, but will be a bigger problem in 100 years. So people won’t use cars with petrol. They will drive in electric cars on underground roads. And there will be electric buses with computers for drivers! The best thing? People will be able to travel in time. Now that will be exciting!

Rosie

c. Hi Josh. Life will be better in 2100-in space! People will live on the Moon and Mars in special cities. They will grow food and send it to the Earth in a huge space craft. Space stations will orbit the Earth and control the climate. There will also be holidays in space! How cool is that?

Brandon

d. Will life be different in 100 years? Yes, it will. Will life be better? No, it won’t! Climate change will cause floods and droughts. Rich people will live for a long time, maybe 200 years! But life won’t be easy for most people. They won’t have food and water.

Faith

e. Well, Josh, the good news is… there won’t be any schools! Students will have lessons at home on their computers. They’ll be in contact with other students all over the world in a‘virtual’classroom. The bad news is…teachers will still give us homework in the future!
