　　A
　　Inspire your students with a school trip to Antarctica, the driest “desert” on earth! Since it is no longer the field of just scientists and explorers, we are offering a unique opportunity for you and your students to explore the great Antarctic region. Under carefully controlled conditions, you can discover Antarctic extraordinary wildlife and scenery on a voyage in the world’s last true wilderness. Antarctica offers your students different kinds of study topics from geology and plate tectonics (构造学) at Deception Island to cold environments.
　　As the fifth largest continent in the world, Antarctica covers an area of roughly 14 million square kilometers, most of which is blanketed by a vast ice sheet, averaging 2000 meters in thickness. For half of the year, it lies in darkness. However, with the arrival of its short summer, this cold land plays host to some of the greatest wildlife on earth. Millions of pairs of penguins, and other sea birds live in the region. Five species of seals are regularly observed hunting for food on ice. Orcas, humpback, whales and some other sea animals are often seen feeding on the ocean’s rich picking, adding to the impressive list of marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物). The summer climate is often surprisingly mild with temperatures above freezing and the long hours of daylight mean that wildlife viewing is possible almost any time.
