Eternal Winter in Antarctica and Beautiful Moon


Eternal Winter in Antarctica and Beautiful Moon
Antarctica is the most southern continent in the world and also the coldest in the world. It is on the South Pole. However Arctic is on the North Pole, continent mentioned above is a colder place, because it is higher above the see level than Arctic. But there is something common between them - winter and summer lasts there each for half year, which means that half of the year both of that places are set in darkness, and other half of the year there is a day time. How would you like to see nothing but the moon for six months?
However there is a lot of interesting things to see, like for example Aurora Australis also called southern lights, as well as, sun dog and diamond dust, which are very beautiful optical phenomenons.
So it would be worth to visit Antarctica for at least once in a lifetime, to see all that unique and beautiful nature creations. Although it is very cold there, the record of the coldest natural temperature ever recorded on Earth was −89.2 °C or −128.6 °F at the Russian Vostok Station on 21 July 1983.
