cial and mlilitary use of the continent.

became the first man to set foot on the Antarctic mainland. The
race to the pole had begun. It was fianlly reached on 11th
December, 1911 by the ...
Since then another 32 countries have signed the treaty.
Over the next 15 years a number of unsuccessful journeys to the
pole were made by explorers such as Emest Shackleton and
Robert Scott.

Its fresh water (70%) is in a frozen state, of course. 98% of

average it is two kilometres thick, but in some places it

cold and lack of rainfall, means that few types of plants
can survive there.
Most animals survive thanks to their fat, which protects them from the
cold.
Task 3 Practice 1:
Each year thousands of tourists visit the polar regions of the Arctic and
Antarctica. __1. __ But the increasing number of people travelling to the ends of

areas. __4.__ Recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and skiing can also
cause disturbances to animal colonies.
Some people say that access to these very special parts of the world should
not be restricted to only researchers and scientists. __5.__ “Those who travel to
