 \nLook at the world map below.Antarctica is thecontinent that surrounds the South Pole.It is aboutone-and-a-half times larger than the United States.It also is the coldest place on Earth.  \nAntarctica is the continent that covers the southern end ofthe earth.  \n# Early Exploration\n\nAntarctica was the lastcontinent to be discovered.After its discovery,peoplesaw no reason to travel sofar because the continenthas no native people or landmammals.  \nIn 1911,two explorerscompeted against each otherto try to be the first to  \nreach the South Pole.RoaldAmundsen,from Norway,won the race and becamethe first person to reach theSouth Pole.Amundsen'scompetitor,British explorer  \nIn December 1911,RoaldAmundsen became the firstperson to reach the South Pole.  \nRobert Falcon Scott,arrived at the South Poleapproximately one month later.Roald Amundsenwon the race to the South Pole because he and histeam traveled very quickly.  \nBeginning in the 1940s and early 1950s,scientistsfrom Britain,the United States,Australia,and othercountries began to set up permanent research stationsin Antarctica.Today,scientists at these stationsconduct weather experiments and other research.  \n# When to Go to Antarctica\n\nBecause Antarctica is far below the equator,November is the first month of summer.This is  \nwhen the ice is beginning to break up.December andJanuary are in the middle of the Antarctic summer.While not as cold as the winter,it is still not warm.  \nDuring part of the summer,the sun never sets.This means travelers get up to 24 hours of sunlightevery day.For some,this might cause weariness andmakeit difficult to stay alert,but other people enjoythe extra daylight for exploring.  \n# Getting to Antarctica\n\nAntarctica is now a favorite place for tourists tovisit because tour operators had a vision of Antarcticaas a place ordinary people would like to visit.Theeasiest way to get there is to take a cruise.Touristtravel to Antarctica begins in Nov","cbCainZnhfQ6RQKd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainZnhfQ6RQKd","pdf",1989601,"English","# Table of Contents\n## The Ends of the Earth\n## Early Exploration\n## When to Go to Antarctica\n## Getting to Antarctica\n## Penguins and More Penguins\n## Sea Creatures and Other Wildlife\n## Other Travel\n## Antarctica and the Future","[{\"question\":\"Where is the “ends of the earth” and what is Antarctica?\",\"answer\":\"The text explains that Antarctica is the continent that surrounds the South Pole at the southern end of Earth.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did people start traveling to Antarctica later?\",\"answer\":\"After Antarctica was discovered, people saw little reason to travel because it had no native people or land mammals, but later tourism and scientific research grew.\"},{\"question\":\"When is the best time to visit Antarctica and why?\",\"answer\":\"November begins the Antarctic summer, with ice beginning to break up; December and January are mid-summer.
