Antarctica information
It is the last continent reached by humans, also known as the "Seventh Continent". It is located at the southernmost point of the earth, almost all of the land is within the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans. It is the continent with the highest geographical latitude in the world and the continent with the most longitudes. The total area is about 14 million square kilometers, accounting for about 9.4% of the world's total land area, ranking fifth among the seven continents.
Why do Chinese people like to travel to Antarctica?
Antarctica is the latest continent discovered in the world. It is known as the seventh continent on earth. It is the continent with the lowest average temperature and the highest average altitude in the world. It is also the farthest place from China. The Antarctic continent is located alone at the southernmost tip of the earth, and more than 95% of its area is covered by thick ice and snow. The Antarctic continent is surrounded by oceans and is the only landmass in the world that has no indigenous inhabitants, is far away from other continents, and is completely isolated from the civilized world.
So why do many Chinese like to travel to Antarctica in such an inaccessible place?
First of all, this is just like many people going to climb Mount Everest. It has the courage to challenge nature and conquer oneself. The Antarctic continent is full of dangers. Even if you go as a team, you must be extremely careful. A little carelessness can be a matter of life and death. A series of dangers that need to be considered, such as ice cracks, blizzards, and whiteout skies, are all tests one after another, making those with courage even more eager to move, hoping to overcome these dangers one by one.
Secondly, going to such a far away place is extremely expensive in itself. Antarctic travel is a game for the rich, especially the elderly who have struggled for most of their lives and want to go to a place they have never seen before. This is also a reason why I want to see more scenery when traveling to places I have visited.
Last and most important, of course, is the beautiful scenery of Antarctica. The Antarctic Peninsula is the warmest and wettest place on the Antarctic continent. Watch whales in Wilhelmina Harbor and experience the changing climate at Paradise Bay. For Chinese people, the Great Wall Station is definitely a must-visit Antarctic attraction. It is located on the South Shetland Islands. Of course, the most shocking thing is the aurora. The striped or radiating light seems to be magical. Combined with the purity of the iceberg and snow scenery, it is really hard to take your eyes away.

These are place names in Antarctica.
Because Antarctica is a place unsuitable for human habitation, it has been inaccessible for a long time, and many places have not yet been named. Some of the more famous places, or places that humans have visited, are given names. Generally, these countries have established scientific research stations here, and many names have the characteristics of each country.
