在我们这次访问北极之前,我对这个地区的概念和知识是贫乏得可怕的。地球的最北端,一片茫无人迹、酷寒死寂的冰雪国度——这就是我大体上对北极的看法。其实北极地区风光面貌、自然条件也是相当复杂的。由于人们对北极地区的长年累月的研究,有关北极地区的资料是相当丰富的。这里且不谈人们为征服北极所付出的代价所获得的成绩和苏联人民开发北极的英勇事迹,只就在旅途中的所闻所见,谈谈北极地区的自然风物和一些必要的概念吧! Before we made this visit to the North Pole, my concept and knowledge of the area was horrendous. The most northern end of the earth, a deserted, cold and snowy country - this is my general view of the North Pole. In fact, the scenery of the Arctic region, natural conditions are quite complicated. Because of the long years of research in the Arctic, information about the Arctic is quite plentiful. Not to mention the achievements made by people in the Arctic to conquer it and the heroic deeds of the Soviet people in developing the Arctic. Just talk about the natural beauty and necessary concepts in the Arctic.
