This Malaysian explored some of the coldest places in Antarctica

Cruises to the Antarctica are becoming popular these days.

Antarctica is the Earth’s most southernmost continent. We had to fly for over 30 hours from Kuala Lumpur to Ushuaia in Argentina, just to board our cruise ship and set sail for Antarctica.

Antarctica is twice the size of Australia and we were greeted with awesome glaciers and ice mountains when we arrived. But even with all that ice, the place is still a very dry place – drier than the Sahara Desert, in fact. No plants and land-based animals can live on it. In some valleys, like the Dry Valley, there has been no rainfall for two million years.
