Sad feelings happy feelings

Like an uneven scale

Excited people joyful people

Lonely people depressed people

Like unwanted

Tremendous feelings marvelous feelings

Like visiting the gates

Antarctica

Antarctica

Fossils of plants and ancient dinosaurs found in Antarctica show the continent once had a warm climate.  Trees and plants grew there before the land drifted towarss the frozen south pole.  This took millions of years.

Now Antarctica is the world's most windiest and coldest region with ice 5kg thick in parts.  Some recorded wind speeds are over 300 km/h stronger than most cyclones.

Thousands of beautiful sea and penguins feed in the oceans around Antarctica but no land animals live on the continent.  We can see only tiny insects and not one green tree.

Only scientists and other workers live in this huge area of land.  Each year thousands of tourists visit the warmer parts in planes or ships.  We hope they don't spoil this  large part of the world.
