英语听力：自然百科 冰冻星球 前往地球尽头(22)

These beautiful clear glass like pillars. Right next to it, this really delicate. Look at a finger that. Filament¹ is there. As the cave team explore deeper, each chamber² reveals ice crystals more strange and spectacular than the last. No one on the team imagined a single Antarctic mountain could house so many wonders.

这些美丽的玻璃就像柱子。在它旁边,这很精致。远看好像一只手指。近看就像灯丝一样纤细。随着洞穴团队探索的更深,每间冰室揭示冰晶的让人感觉总是比最后看到的要感觉奇形怪状和壮观。没有人对能想象这样孤独的南极山脉能孕育出如此多的奇迹。

Down at the foot of Mountain Alps, a third crew, the diving team, plan to explore the volcano's belower slopes, which extend beneath the frozen sea. On board is the underwater cameraman, Hue³ Miller⁴. From what we actually know, under the ice sea, said he knows this is his favorite adventure. Old fashion tools still work best. First a hand chisel⁵ to create an open hole, than a saw to widen the hole. Ice diving in the coldest waters on the planet should be taken extremely seriously.
