Introduction to the names of Antarctic tourist attractions

It is the last continent that human beings have reached, also called "the seventh continent". Located at the southernmost tip of the earth, the land is almost in the Antarctic circle, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the continent with the highest geographical latitude and the longest longitude span in the world. The total area is about 6.5438+0.4 million square kilometers, accounting for 9.4% of the world's total land area, ranking fifth among the seven continents.

Why do China people like to travel to the South Pole?

Antarctic continent is the latest continent discovered in the world, known as the seventh continent on earth, the continent with the lowest average temperature and the highest average altitude in the world, and the farthest place from China. The Antarctic continent is lonely at the southernmost tip of the earth, and more than 95% of the area is covered with thick ice and snow. Surrounded by the ocean, the Antarctic continent is the only land in the world without aborigines, far from other continents and completely isolated from the civilized world.

So why do many people in China like to travel to such a remote place as Antarctica?

First of all, just like many people will climb Mount Everest, they have the courage to challenge nature and conquer themselves. The Antarctic continent is full of dangers, and even if the team goes, it must be extremely careful. Carelessness is a matter of life and death. A series of dangers that need to be considered, such as ice cracks, snowstorms and albino days, are all layers of tests, which also makes people with courage more eager to move, hoping to cross these dangers one by one.

Secondly, going that far is an expensive thing in itself. Antarctic tour is a game for the rich, especially for the elderly who have struggled for most of their lives and want to travel to a place they have never been to and see more scenery. This is also a reason.

Finally, and most importantly, of course, the beauty of the South Pole. The Antarctic Peninsula is the warmest and wettest place in the Antarctic continent. Watch whales in Wilhelmina Harbor and feel the climate change in Paradise Bay. For China people, the Great Wall Station is definitely a must-see Antarctic attraction, which is located in south shetland islands. Of course, the most shocking thing is the aurora, which is like a magic belt or radiant light, plus the purity of the iceberg snow scene, which really makes people unable to open their eyes.

What seas are there near the South Pole? What are their names?

Weddell Sea, Scottish Sea, Billings High Sea, amundsen sea, Whale Bay, Ross Sea.

These are the names of Antarctica.

Because Antarctica is an uninhabitable place, it has been inaccessible for a long time, and many places have not yet been named. Some famous places, or places where humans have been, have given this place a name. Generally, these countries will set up scientific research stations here, and many names have the characteristics of each country.
