Sample Text
"Imagine you are living some 20,000 years ago. You are huddled in a dark cave, covered by reindeer or bison skins. As you peek out at the icy surroundings, you worry that you might have to share your shelter with a cave lion or cave bear. Your teeth chatter and your stomach growls, and you wonder when the hunters will return with meat. The only heat comes from the fire that burns day and night.. . . "

ANTARCTICAANTARCTICA
"Do you like subzero weather? How about six months of darkness each year? Do howling blizzards make your day? Does a long walk in hurricane-force winds sound like fun? If so, then Antarctica is the place for you. The fifth largest continent is the coldest, driest, iciest, windiest, and highest-lying area on Earth. It also has the fewest people living on it-- only about one thousand in winter and four. . . "
GLACIERSGLACIERS
"In many parts of the world, spring means a welcome thaw after the bitter cold of winter. However, in other places, such as Antarctica, Greenland, and the peaks of high mountains, temperatures remain frigid all year long, 24/365. It is there, in the constantly cold lands, that glaciers are born."
