How Beautiful is Antarctica?

No place on Earth compares to this vast, white wilderness of snow, ice, water, and rock. Antarctica is simply stunning. Contrary to what many people imagine, the innermost part of Antarctica is not suitable for travel because it is entirely covered by snow and ice, and the temperature is extremely cold, reaching -50 degrees Celsius or even lower, so no creatures can survive there. On the contrary, the edge of Antarctica, which is like a large braid hanging down from the Antarctic map, is the Antarctic Peninsula, where there are many animals and broken glaciers. At the same time, the beautiful Antarctic Peninsula is also the most accessible part of the Antarctic continent. We take an assault boat through the glaciers. It is not easy to encounter the sunrise or sunset on the Antarctic Peninsula, but once you do, it is like paradise. Sometimes the huge ice sheets are in the distance. In fact, these huge icebergs are larger than cities. Only summer is a suitable season for traveling to the Antarctic Peninsula. Although there are many cloudy days, there will also be strange astronomical phenomena such as lenticular clouds, rainbow fog, and red skies. During blizzards, penguins standing in the snow and people hiking are also a beautiful sight.
