C
Life at the South Pole, in the long winter, is different in some ways. No planes fly into the South Pole in winter, from about 15th February to about 25th October. People living there in winter are cut away from the world outside. They can only learn about things outside the South Pole on the radio and the Internet.
It's not easy to live at the South Pole. Living there is the same as living on the moon—only a few people live there, and there is no way to "get away" by going outside because it's so cold and there is snow everywhere. But, as people always do they find ways to work and have fun too. Having a video library and collection of video games helps a lot.
Sometimes people go out in winter when they have to give a hand to others. There are no cars there, so they use sleds(雪橇).
At the South Pole, people can't throw waste. They should put any waste into use again. It is very important and it helps to keep the South Pole clean.
