. JUST I/~AGINE<br >lust imagine yourself in the most hostile place on earth. It s not the Sahara or<br >the Gobi Desert. It s not the Arctic. The most hostile place on earth is the<br >Antarctic, the location of the South Pole. North Pole, South Pole--what s the<br >difference? The Arctic is mostly water--with ice on top, of c,~urse and that<br >ice is never more than a few feet thick. But under the South Pole lies a conti-<br >nent that supports glaciers up to two miles in depth. Almost the entire<br >;outhem continent is covered by ice. This mammoth icecap presses down so<br >aeavily that it actually distorts the shape of the earth. The ice never melts; it<br >:lings to the bottom of the world, spawning winds, storms, and weather that<br >tffect the whole planet.<br > And of all the weather it creates, the weather the Antarctic creates for itself<br >s by far the worst. In the winter, the temperature can sink to 100 degrees below<br >em Fahrenheit. Cold air masses sliding down the sides of the glaciers speed<br >p until they become winds of close to 200 miles per hour. When winter<br >escends on the southern continent, the seas surrounding the land begin to<br >:eeze at the terrifying rate of two square miles every minute, until the frozen<br >. a reaches an area of 7 million square miles, about twice the size of the United<br >rates. It is truly the most hostile environment this side of the moon. Just<br >nagine yourself stranded in such a place.<br > In 1915, a British crew of twenty-eight men was stranded there, with no<br >tip and no way to contact the nntdclo wnrlA T h 11 :..~A<br >
