The Uniqueness of Antarctica
When most people think about going on vacation, they think about going to a tropical island where they can relax in the sun. Others think that camping in mountains and hiking through forests make the best vacations. I have a different idea. The best vacation I ever had was the eco-cruise I took toAntarctica. Antarctica is unlike any other place in the world.
The first thing you notice is the beauty. Everything looks pure and untouched. The contrast between the ice and water is startling. The ice can be the whitest white, and the blues in the water are deep and clear. The icebergs are also amazing because of their size and their forms. They can be huge or small, but each one has a unique shape. Moreover, you can walk on new snow that stretches for miles. In short, the beauty of Antarctica cannot be matched anywhere else in the world.
Second, the sounds in Antarctica are amazing. They range from total silence to a cacophony. The silence comes when you are by yourself on top of a hill and you hear nothing but a slight breeze. The noise comes when you are standing next to a thousand penguins, especially when they are sittingon their nests or caring for their babies. Penguins form families, and they recognize each other through their caws. Each one sounds unique to a penguin, but to a human, it is just loud.
The most wondrous feeling you get in Antarctica is the sense that you are seeing something that is completely new. You have become the explorer of new land. The penguins and the seals are not afraid of you. You can stand there, and the penguins walk around you. The seals don’t move as you walk around them. You realize that there is still a place on our hugely populated and industrialized Earth that is new. It’s an amazing feeling.
In summary, atmospheric conditions in Antarctica make it an ideal place to travel. Most people who have been on an Antarctic expedition tour will tell you of the breathtaking beauty of the continent. Animals are not shy about the presence of humans.The few lucky that visit the continent of Antarctica will always remember their trip as one of the most amazing things they ever done in their lives.
