Antarctica is the highest, driest, and coldest place on Earth. It is also the remotest, a fact which accounts for its unspoiled environment. It is difficult for people to get there, and not a comfortable place for people to stay once they arrive. It is widely described as the last true wilderness on our planet.

南极洲是地球上最高、最干和最冷的地方。它也是最偏僻的，这就解释了南极洲为什么会成为一片没被污染的环境。人们很难到那儿，即使到了那里，南极洲也不是个能让人呆得舒适的地方。它被普遍形容为我们星球上的最后一片真正的荒野。
