Vinson Massif, Antarctica



Mt. Vinson is the highest point and is one of the seven summits in Antarctica. Supplies can be brought to the base camp by sled. The temperature can drop to 20 to 30 degrees below zero. Antarctica is the only continent that is almost completely submerged beneath ice.

While I was here I was very cold. I felt like my toes were going to fall off. We didn't stay here long, but while I was here I saw some penguins and other arctic animals. The Vinson Massif is a very deserted place. I had to get to place to place by a sled.
