The Brilliant Blizzard

The white, and the ice just makes me wonder about the history and how everything just came to what it is now. Antarctica used to be at the top of the world but throughout    the years it came to the very bottom.

The ocean sounds like heavy splashes of water into your drink. The crashing icebergs sound like bags of ice getting smashed by a hammer. It sounds so amazing. Antarctica is the best place in the world.

File:Icebergs in the Lemaire Channel, Antarctica.jpg - Wikimedia ...Antarctica feels like frostbite is nipping the end of your toes off. Antarctica feels like you're sleeping outside in a pool on a cold winter's night. Antarctica feels like you are a snowball and the cold never stops. Here in NZ when it is winter we think it is quite cold but you should feel what it's like in Antarctica. In the summer here we have the sun stretching fiery fingers down on us and it is just amazing but down in Antarctica it is sunlight all the time but it is still freezing.

Antarctica looks like the biggest mountains covered in hundreds of snow layers. The snow is the whitest thing you have ever seen. The colors are like the most beautiful things ever. It just makes me speechless.

In my opinion Antarctica feels freezing and bone-chilling. Sounds extraordinary and mind blowing. Looks amazing and the best place in the world.

  1. Kia ora Phoebe,
    Thank you for sharing your learning about Antartica. You are right, it is a very fascinating place. I love watching documentaries and reading all about Antartica and it would be an incredible place to visit in real life one day! One of my work colleagues, Shelley, has actually been there twice (or maybe more)! I think, like you, I would be speechless at the whitest snow and the beautiful colours. You should check out Shelley's next adventure to Antartica with your teacher and your class - http://rata.learnz.org.nz/summary.php?vft=antarctica174 - I think you would learn heaps!
