1 . Four Places Named After Scientists in Antarctica

There are many scientific breakthroughs made by women in Antarctic. Here are four landmarks in Antarctica and the female pioneers they’re named for.

Jones Terrace (梯田)

The ice-free terrace in eastern Antarctica’s Victoria Land bears Jones’ name. In 1969, geochemist Lois M. Jones led the first all-female research team from the U.S. to work in Antarctica. Jones and her team studied chemical weathering in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, an ice-free area of Antarctica. Through chemical analyses of rocks they had collected, Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley’s ice-covered lakes.

Mount Fiennes

8,202-foot-high Mount Fiennes, located on Antarctica’s largest island — Alexander Island — is named for Ginny Fiennes. She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio towers in the Antarctic. In 1985, Fiennes became the first female who was invited to join the Antarctic Club, a British supper club open to individuals who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region.

Francis Peak

The 3,727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica’s Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis, who is the first female director of the British Antarctic Survey, the national polar research institute of the UK. Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica’s abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does.

Peden Cliffs

Peden Cliffs near Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden. She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic, where she used radio waves to study ice sheets. Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio waves spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice. They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.

3 . The District of Columbia is a destination filled with sites of historic and current importance. During a visit, you can learn about the structure of our government and see monuments, museums and much more.

    1    If you have enough time, it is well worth it to make it to as many of the monuments as possible. The place to start is the National Mall. The mall is a beautiful grassy area lined with trees and some of the monuments honoring the nation's most important figures.    2    

After exploring some of Washington DC's amazing monuments, the next stop should be to plan out a visit to some of the Smithsonian Institution's complex of museums. With over 19 museums and the National Zoological Park, it’s unlikely that you will have the time to explore each of these museums on a single visit. The best way to enjoy the Smithsonian Institution is to plan out which museums you are most interested in visiting. If you are interested in culture, the National Museum of African American History and Culture is a wonderful choice, where you can learn about the richness and diversity of the African American experience.    3    This museum offers amazing insights into the history and culture of many different tribes of American Indians.

Washington DC doesn't just have monuments and museums. There are also chances to enjoy the great outdoors.    4    You can enjoy the outdoors at the Constitution Gardens with beautiful trees, and island and more. The National Arboretum is another outdoor destination. The Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens and the US Botanical Gardens are also great outdoor destinations.

The arts and entertainment in Washington DC are also an important part of any trip to the city.    5    The historic Georgetown neighborhood in Washington DC is an excellent area to enjoy some of the cities' best shopping, dining, entertainment and more.

What can make a museum attractive? By “attractive” I mean being able to do a lot of things. One of the most     1    (fascinate) museums is Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. It is set in a beautiful place by the sea and this is a museum in     2     shop you can buy nice souvenirs. Most of all, the rooms in the museum building are specially designed     3     (match) the paintings and other things presented there. Even     4     (spend) a whole day there will never make one feel bored. Experimentarium     5     (base) on the idea of experiment is another attractive museum. Visitors     6     (simple) have to touch and move the     7     (object) because it is the best way to understand many difficult processes and how different things work.

Finally, one of my favorite places is the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels. Visitors     8     (provide) a set of headphones when they buy a ticket.     9     moment they' re getting close to any instrument, they can hear it play in their headphones. And this is also     10     I call “attractive”!
