       The coldest and most difficult place in the world in which to live is Antarctica (南极洲). Antarctica is the

land of snow and ice near the South Pole (南极). Most people do not think there is much life in the icy (结冰的) waters around it. They are wrong.

       Antarctica's seas are full of life. There are many kinds of fishes, water birds, seals, and whales (鲸). They

eat the thick plant life in the sea and the smaller water animals. Some whales, for examples, eat more than a ton

of food every day.

       The most famous animal of Antarctica is the penguin (企鹅). It struts (昂首阔步而行) around the icy

beaches as if it were a movie star walking down the street.
