The coldest and most difficult place in the world to live is Antarctica (南极洲). It is the land of snow and ice near the South Pole (南极). Most people do not think there is much life in the icy waters around it. They are wrong. Actually, there are more than one hundred different kinds of animals there. The most famous animal of Antarctica is the penguin (企鹅). Halley Bay (哈雷湾) was the world's second largest home for penguins.
However, penguins are now in great danger. Recently, scientists found that the number of penguins has dropped quickly. One of the main reasons is that many storms hit Halley Bay. Thousands of baby penguins died from the terrible weather.
Scientists feel worried about this. Halley Bay used to be a safe place for penguins but now it isn't. Luckily, another home of penguins has gotten much bigger. In order to keep safe, many penguins have moved there. Although penguins may have greater chance to keep alive, they are still facing the danger of dying out. Unless we do something, they won't have anywhere to go one day.
