the Antarctic

南极洲；

Le Bohec said, "The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warning about the future of the entire marine environment in the Antarctic."(LeBohec说：“应该把帝企鹅的困境当作对未来南极整个海洋环境的一个警告来对待。”)

Now, new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years.(现在，新的证据显示，在过去130万年中，全部的南极冰盖或其中大部分至少都崩塌过一次。)

That's because of a clockwise current of water called the Antarctic circumpolar current.(这是由于被称为南极绕极环流的顺时针环流造成的。)

Recent expeditions have taken ice samples from green icebergs and ice cores—vertical, cylindrical ice samples reaching down to great depths—from the glacial ice shelves along the Antarctic continent.(近代的探险队已经从绿色冰山和冰核中带回了一些冰块样本，这些样本呈垂直的圆柱状，是沿着南极洲大陆的冰川冰架从极深的位置中取出的。)

The stunning, austere beauty of the Antarctic icescape is our constant companion.(这令人目眩而又朴实无华的美丽南极冰景一直陪伴着我们。)

Measurements taken over the south pole reflect changes in the mass of the Antarctic ice sheets.(南极地区的数据反映了南极冰盖质量的变化。)

The Antarctic Ice Sheet waxed and waned, and global sea level rose and fell.(随着南极冰盖冰冻和消融，全球海平面也在降低和升高。)

The Antarctic landscape, no less than the icefields of Chile, can deliver surprises.(南极大陆的的面积不小于智利的冰原，它能够制造出奇迹。)

Because of the extreme cold, the Antarctic is a uniquely fragile environment.(由于极端寒冷，南极州的生态环境尤其脆弱。)

By the century's end, they predict snowfall retreating to the Antarctic continent's edge.(他们预测，到本世纪末，降雪将撤退至南极边缘。)
