1. Living in the Antarctic
“Hi, my name’s Max Wright. I’m an engineer, and I live on the Scott Base in
the Antarctic. It’s very cold here, and we’re all from New Zealand. At night
the temperature can be -50º C, but in the day it’s only -20º C!

2. Twelve people live here, and we’re all from New Zealand. At the base there’s a
restaurant, a TV room, a small shop, and six bedrooms – two people sleep in
each room. Most of our food comes from New Zealand, and we also eat fish
from the sea.
We work from Monday to Friday, and sometimes Saturdays too. Every morning
I go swimming in the sea (which is only 1º C!), and in my free time I play
volleyball or watch videos. I also love watching the animals and birds,
especially the penguins – there are thousands of them here.
Yes, it’s cold at Scott Base, but it’s also a very beautiful place to live. I love it
here.”
