南极洲在地球的最南端,是一片冰天雪地的世界。它的面积有1400多万平方公里,比欧洲或大洋洲的面积都大。南极洲的四周是浩瀚的太平洋、大西洋和印度洋。它远离地球的任一个大陆,即使西部的南极半岛离南美洲较近,但仍然相隔有960公里。另外,无论从历史上的哪一个时代来看,这里都是地球上唯一无人居住的地方,是名副其实与外部隔绝的世界。 Antarctica is the most ice-skating world in the southernmost part of the world. Its area is more than 14 million square kilometers, larger than that of Europe or Oceania. Surrounding Antarctica are the vast Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It is far from any continent on Earth, and even though the western Antarctic Peninsula is closer to South America, it is still 960 km apart. In addition, no matter from any historical era, this is the only uninhabited place on the earth and a world virtually isolated from the outside world.
