Antarctica is like no other place in the world. It is unique. It is very big, like the United States and Australia together. Antarctica is the coldest place in the world. The temperature is sometimes -87℃. August and September are the coldest months because the sun doesn't appear then.Antarctica is at the southern tip of the world. It is the highest continent and is 10,000 feet high. Antarctica also has very strong winds. Sometimes, the wind blows two hundred miles an hour. It is also the driest place in the world, even drier than the Sahara Desert!Antarctica has huge and beautiful glaciers everywhere. A glacier is an area of ice that moves slowly. Except for these cold glaciers and ice, Antarctica is empty. There are no trees, no rivers, and no cities. Penguins and other sea birds are the only land animals that live there. 来源：新东方英语·中学版

The Antarctic,a Desert of Ice All Year RoundThe antarctic is actually a desert．It is the only continent on the earth without a river or a lake．The antarctic is all ice all year round．The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero,at the South Pole．Explorers used to think that a place so cold would have a heavy snow－fall．But less than ten inches of snow falls each year．That is less than half an inch of water．Ten times that much moisture falls in parts of the Sahara．The little snow that falls in Antarctica never melts．It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century．When the snow gets to be about eighty feet deep it is turned to ice by the weight of the snow above it．
