Do you want to visit the coldest place in

the world? Tourists usually visit Antarctica
in the summer because it is never dark
then. During the summer, the sun shines
all day and all night in Antarctica. It is very
cold there in the summer, but not as cold
as in the winter. In the winter, the
temperature sometimes goes down to
-80°C and it is always dark – all day and
all night.

Tourists always see penguins in

Antarctica. These strange birds look like
little fat men wearing black suits. They
can’t fly, but they can swim very well. The
biggest animal in the world also lives in
Antarctica – the blue whale. This sea
animal is 30 metres long and can weigh
100,000 kilos! But only some tourists are
lucky enough to see a blue whale.
