Перевод текста Here is the story I promised to write to you. Imagine a lot ofsnow, ice, sun and cold all in one place. It’s called Antarctica! And it is the coldest part of the world. It is also the highest and the windiest. There are a lot of mountains and icebergs in Antarctica. Do you know what icebergs are like? They are large and beautiful pieces of ice like mountains made from glass and snow.
Scientists (ученые) from different countries stay here for short periods of time. Usually they live in special stations.

There are some unusual (необычные) birds that live in Antarctica. They are called penguins. They are quite big birds but they can’t fly at all. But they are excellent swimmers and divers. While the penguins’ mums spend the winter at sea, their dads take care of (заботятся) the eggs for nine weeks. During this time they don’t eat or drink. For extra warmth (тепло) these brave and strong birds live in big groups. Together they try to keep their children out of the cold air and wind.

The blue whale (кит) lives in Antarctica too. It is the largest animal in the world. But I will write you about them in my next story.
