A Place Where Food Never Spoils--A middle school science teacher describes dining in Antarctica

食物绝对不会腐烂的地方 一位中学科学老师讲述在南极洲的用餐体验

In some small parts of Antarctica,you can lay a sandwich down on the ground and return to it a month later,and it will be fine to eat.The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are perhaps the driest places on Earth;protected by mountains,they see virtually no precipitation,ever.

在南极洲的一些小地方,你可以把一个三明治放在地上,一个月后回来,这个三明治依旧可以吃。南极洲的麦克默多干谷可能是地球上最干燥的地方。由于受到山脉的保护,这里几乎从未有过降水。碰巧吹到此地的雪很快就蒸发了。而且那里太冷,细菌无法生存。基本上,食物不可能腐烂。
