1 . Fun facts about Antarctica
At the southernmost point of the world, you find Antarctica a giant mass of ice that’s its own continent. You, may not know much about the continent, so why not read on?
There’ s a lake that runs blood red in Antarctica.
As though someone has cut into the ice, the properly named Blood Falls come out over the Taylor Glacier. The water is extremely high in iron and salt, and when it comes into contact with the air, it shows the special red color against the pure white surroundings. The water here is three times saltier than ocean water, and therefore, too salty to become ice.
Antarctica has its own treaty (条约).
Because the environment of Antarctica is so delicate and unique, there is a treaty saying that only peaceful research can be done there. In 1959, 12 countries signed this treaty, with the number now sitting at 53. This also makes it certain that Antarctica doesn’t end up being caught in an international conflict, and that the continent is only used for scientific purposes and sensible traveling. The treaty prevents army and nuclear activities, and also mineral mining.
There is a unique phenomenon in Antarctica called diamond dust.
While there are low levels of precipitation (降水) in Antarctica, that doesn’t mean the air is clear of nature’s beauty! The air is so cold there that moisture (水汽) can condense while air-borne. This results in ice falling to the ground. The sun’s light will cause the ice to shine, creating a shining shower called diamond dust. It happens when the skies are clear, known as clear-sky precipitation.
If any of these Antarctic facts have increased your interest in visiting this unique continent, be sure to get in touch with the team al Aurora Expeditions today.

8 . Four of the best UK foodie campsites(营地)
Dunstan Hill Campsite, near Alnwick, Northumberland
On this wild coast, foodies should visit Craster, a tiny fishing village northeast of Alnwick, in north Northumberland, England. Here the family has been smoking fish for nearly a century. Take your pick in the shop at the smokehouse on Haven Hill, then head back to the Campsite at Dunstan Hill, where facilities(设施)include hot showers, washing machines and Wi-Fi. With miles of beaches and Alnwick Castle nearby, this is a great place for camping.
Gordale Scar Campsite, North Yorkshire
At the foot of Gordale Scar is this basic site(just a couple of toilets, cold water and a shower). But its inconveniences are more than made up for by its setting. Add in the readily made beef products by Chris Wildman(buy his goods at Town End Farm Shop). Chris’s farming and products date back more than five generations.
Lochhouse Farm, near North Berwick, East Lothian
It is beside the river Evan in the South of Scotland. There are beautiful farmhouses set in 9 acres of land and a simple salad of dressed lobster(龙虾)and crab(蟹肉)is the perfect campfire meal. You can buy a lobster from Seacliffe Lobsters outside North Berwick. The boss, Jack, has been catching lobsters and crabs for more than 30 years, exporting much of his catch to Spain.
Nant-y-Big, Llyr Peninsula, Gwynedd
This site, above Porth Ceriad beach, is wonderful. Facilities include hot showers, and barbecues(烧烤)are permitted so this makes a perfect place to enjoy the local lamb. With supplies bought from the Glasfryn Parc Farm Shop near Pwllheli on the way in, we dined on lamb and watched the sun go down over the Irish Sea.
