Interviewer: Today, I'm talking to an explorer Stephanie Lowe. She's going to go on a trip to Antarctica in November. What are you going to do there, Stephanie.

Stephanie: I'm going to walk to the South Pole. Well, I'm an explorer and a photographer. I'm going to take the photos of the ice in Antarctica. You know, 98% of Antarctica is ice.

Interviewer: Wow! Why are you going to go in November?

Stephanie: Because it's summer there. There are only two seasons in Antarctica, summer and winter. It isn't sunny in winter. It's night for 6 months. And in summer, it never gets dark.

Interviewer: What's about animals? Will you see any polar bears?

Stephanie: No, I won't. Polar bears live in the Arctic, but I hope I will see some penguins and whales. They live in Antarctica.

Interviewer: So what equipment are you going to take?

Stephanie: A lot. For example, special clothes, waterproofs, sunglasses, water bottles, a pen knife, and some sun cream.

Interviewer: What will the temperature be like?

Stephanie: It will be very cold, of course. It's very windy in Antarctica, and the wind changes the temperature. In November, the temperature will be about minus 30 degrees Celcius. So a very good tent and sleeping bag will also be important.

Interviewer: How will you talk to your friends and family at home?

Stephanie: I'm going to take a special laptop. But at the research center at the South Pole, there will be telephone and computer, so communicating will be easier. There will also be nice meals and hot water at the center.

Interviewer: Well, good luck, Stephanie. I hope I will see you next year.
