Read this letter from our English correspondent, Diana Right, who wanted to write vou about a mysterious land called Antarctica. You can learn more about Antarctica from our magazine "Young Scientist".
Dear Kids,
Here is the story I promised to write to you. Imagine a lot of snow, ice, sun and cold all in one place. It's called Antarctica! And it is the coldest part of the world. It is also the highest and the windiest. There are a lot of mountains and icebergs in Antarctica. Do you know what icebergs are like? They are large and beautiful pieces of ice like mountains made from glass and snow.Scientists from different countries stay here for short periods of time. Usually they live in special stations.
There are some unusual birds that live in Antarctica. They are called penguins. They are quite big birds but they can't fly at all. But they are excellent swimmers and divers. While the penguins' mums spend the winter at sea, their dads take care of the eggs for nine weeks. During this time they don't eat or drink. For extra warmth these brave and strong birds live in big groups. Together they try to keep their children out of the cold air and wind.
The blue whale lives in Antarctica too. It is the largest animal in the world. But I will write you about them in my next story.
Send your letters to our magazine. Ask me as many questions as you can and I'll try to answer them all.
Diana Right
Correspondent for the children's magazine "Young Scientist"

Cleopatra's Needle
There is an unusual monument in London.It is in the centre of London on the bank of the Thames, not far from Trafalgar Square, and it is called Cleopatra's Needle. It is an obelisk made of red granite (гранит). Its height is 20.87 metres and it weighs about 1 87 tons. The obelisk is covered with hieroglyphs (иероглифы) that tell us about the war victories of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, but how did the obelisk that has
the name of a beautiful queen appear in London? Is it possible that Cleopatra herself ever visited the misty banks of the Thames?
The obelisk was cut from granite in Egypt in the 1 5th century вс. there were only several obelisks of that kind in heliopolis. a thousand years later, two of them were transported to
Alexandria. After a couple of centuries,one of the two fell in an earthquake. much later, in 1 8 1 9, the last one was given as a present to the british nation by mahommed ali, the ruler of egypt. it was not easy to transport it from Egypt то England. a special metal container was made, the Needle was put into it and then taken aboard a ship. It was a dangerous and tragic voyage. six sailors died, and the obelisk was nearly lost at sea. in spite of all the problems, it arrived in london and in 1 879 was put on the pedestal near the Thames.
There is one more curious thing about the obelisk. Perhaps it could be called a present for archaeologists of the future for, under the obelisk, there are now some objects from today's world that can give them unique information about our time. The scientists of the future will
find Bibles in various languages, British Empire coins, a railway guide, daily newspapers, and twelve photographs of the most beautiful British women.
