Thinking about visiting Antarctica (南极洲)? If you are, then there are some things that you should know about before you go. Here are things that you need to know before visiting it .

When it comes to visiting Antarctica, there is pretty possible to spend much money. Cruises (航行) booked at the last minute can go for as little as $4,000 and luxury cruises can go for as much as $ 50,000.

When people have asked about how cold it is in Antarctica, they are always told that it very rarely gets below freezing, and on the non-windy days, you could easily get around the ship in no more than a T-shirt. Cold wind is much more of a trouble than the temperature (温度) itself, so as long as your clothing is windproof, the cold really shouldn’t give you any trouble at all.

More importantly, you need to respect the penguin highways. The penguins follow the same way up and down hills, leaving tracks in the snow named “penguin highways”. These highways are the penguins favorite way, so it is important to keep away from them, and not to get too close.

A whale alert (鲸鱼警报) is exactly what you’d expect it to be. When whales are found by the ship, the captain will announce it over the loudspeaker to give anyone who wants to see the wildlife half a chance. Whale alerts can come at any hour of the day or night, so make sure you always have a battery (电池) and memory card in your camera.
