Christmas in Antarctica
Oh hi! I didnt see you there. Im Petey and Im an Antarctic penguin. I was just getting ready to slide into the water. Want to watch me?
Phew! What a swim! Are you looking for someone to tell you about Christmas in Antarctica? Hmmm well thats tough because people dont live here!
You see, the weather conditions here are really cold and dark. It can get as cold as -150属F! Thats 150属 below zero! It is also really dark here. In fact, we have almost 6 months where we cant even see the sun!
Well, just because there arent people living here, doesnt mean there is nothing to see. Hop on this ice drift with me and well see if we can find any of my friends.
Look! Its my friend Sammy the Seal! Seals live in the waters around Antarctica. They have thick layers of fat, or blubber, to help insulate them and keep them warm.
Do you see the humpback whale down there? Whales live in the waters around Antarctica too. Sometimes you can even hear them communicating with one another. It sounds like they are singing!
Penguins arent the only birds that live down here! Why, there are gulls, cormorants, and even albatross down here!
Well, its time for me to head back. But I have one more surprise to show you before I go! Come on! What are you waiting for?
Here we are home sweet iceberg. But look! There ARE people here after all!
The law says that no one can live here permanently. But scientists and explorers are free to come to Antarctica to learn about it. In the winter time, not many of them choose to stay. But it looks like the ones who have stayed are getting ready for Christmas!
Antarctica Research Station Happy Holidays from Antarctica!
