Title: The Coldest Place on Earth
Author: Tim Victory

Summary: Until now, in the South Pole, there is a house, named Amundsen which is a South Pole station. The indoors of the house is warm, no matter summer or winter and people can work live or work there. It is very convenient, either to reach there or depart from there. One can travel from the South Pole station to other countries within hours. However when one walk out of the station 500 meters away, the destination will be the coldest place on earth.
In 1911, there were no airplanes and houses. Except for the snow and the coldness, almost nothing existed in South Pole. There was neither British flag nor Norway flag. But there were a few people who slowly walked across the South Pole. Those people were Scott, the leader, with his team. At that time, the temperature in South pole was worse than -30℃. They put up with the hungriness, tiredness and coldness and tried to reach their destination, South Pole.
Now, the words of Scott can still be seen in the South Pole station and it says that “God, this place was horrible!”
