Countries Rush for Upper Hand in Antarctica
A) On a glacier-filled island with fjords(峡湾)and elephant als, Russia has built Antarctica’s first Orthodox church on a bill overlooking its rearch ba. Less than an hour away by snowmobile. Chine laborers have updated the Great Wall Station, a vital part of China’s plan to operate five bass on Antarctica, complete with an indoor badminton court and sleeping quarters for 150 people. Not to be outdone, India’s futuristi
c new Bharathi ba, built on stills(桩子)using 134 interlocking shipping containers, rembles a spaceship. Turkey and Iran have announced plans to build bas, too.
B) More than a century has pasd since explorers raced to plant their flags at the bottom of the world, and for decades to come this continent is suppod to be protected as a scientific prerve, shielded from intrusions like military activities and mining . But an array of countries are rushing to asrt greater influence here, with an eye not just towards the day tho protective treaties expire, but also for the strategic and commercial that already exist.
C) The newer players are stepping into what they view as a treasure hou of resources. Some of the ventures focus on the Antarctic resources that are already up for grabs, like abundant a life. South Korea, which operates state-of–the-art bas here, is increasing its fishing of krill(磷虾)，found in abundance in the Southern Ocean, while Russia recently frustrated efforts to create one of the world’s largest ocean sanctuaries here.
D) Some scientists are examining the potential for harvesting icebergs form Antarctica,
which is estimated to have the biggest rerves of fresh water on the planet. Nations are also pressing ahead with space rearch and satellite projects to expand their global navigation abilities.
E) Building on a Soviet-era foothold, Russia is expanding its monitoring stations for Glonass, its version of the Global Positioning System(GPS). At least three Russian stations are already operating in Antarctica, part of its effort to challenge the dominance of the American GPS, and new stations are planned for sites like the Russian ba, in the shadow of the Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity.
F) Elwhere in Antarctica, Russian rearchers boast of their recent discovery of a freshwater rerve the size of Lake Ontario after drilling through miles of solid ice. “You can e that we’re here to stay,” said Vladimir Cheberdak, 57, chief of the Bellingshaun Station, as he sipped tea under a portrait of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshaun, a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Russian Navy who explored the Antarctic coast in 1820.
G) Antarctica’s mineral, oil and gas wealth are a longer-term prize. The treaty banning mining here, shielding coveted(令人垂诞的)rerves of iron ore, coal and chromium, com
es up for review in 2048. Rearchers recently found kimberlite(金伯利岩) deposits hinting at the existence of diamonds. And while asssments vary widely, geologists estimate that Antarctica holds at least 36 billion barrels of oil and natural gas.
H) Beyond the Antarctic treaties, huge obstacles persist to tapping the resources, like drifting icebergs that could jeopardize offshore platforms. Then there is Antarctic’s remoteness, with some mineral deposits found in windswept locations on a continent that is larger the Europe and where winter temperatures hover around minus 55 degrees Celsius.
I) But advances in technology might make Antarctica a lot more accessible three decades from now. And even before then, scholars warn, the demand for resources in an energy-hungry world could rai pressure to renegotiate Antarctica’s treaties, possibly allowing more commercial endeavours here well before the prohibitions against them expire. The rearch stations on King George lsland offer a glimp into the long game on this ice-blanketed continent as nations asrt themlves, eroding the sway long held by countries like the United States, Britain. Australia and New Zealand.
J) Being stationed in Antarctica involves adapting to life on the planet’s driest, windiest and coldest continent, yet each nation manages to make itlf at home. Bearded Russian priests offer regular rvices at the Orthodox church for the 16 or so Russian speakers who spend the winter at the ba, largely polar scientists in fields like glaciology and meteorology. Their number climbs to about 40 in the warmer summer months. China has arguably the fastest growing operations in Antarctica. It opened its fourth station last year and is pressing ahead with plans to build a fifth. It is building its cond ice-breaking ship and tting up rearch drilling operations on an ice dome 13,422 feet above a level that is one the planet’s coldest places. Chine officials say the expansion in Antarctica prioritis scientific rearch. But they also acknowledge that concerns about “resource curity” influence their moves.公司年会主持
K) China’s newly renovated Great Wall Station on King George lsland makes the Russian and Chilean bas here em outdated. ”We do weather monitoring here and other rearch.” Ning Xu, 53, the chief of the Chine ba, said over tea during a fierce blizzard(暴风雪) in late November. The large ba he leads rembles a snowed-in colle
ge campus on holiday break, with the capacity to sleep more than 10 times the 13 people who were staying on through the Antarctic winter. Yong Yu, a Chine microbiologist, showed off the spacious building, with empty desks under an illustrated timeline detailing the rapid growth of China’s Antarctic operations since the 1980s “We now feel equipped to grow,” he said.
L) As some countries expand operations in Antarctica, the United States maintains three year-round stations on the continent with more than 1,000 people during the southern hemisphere’s summer, including tho at the Amundn Scott station, built in 1956 at an elevation of 9,301 feet on a plateau at the South Pole. But US rearchers quietly complain about budget restraints and having far fewer icebreakers the Russia, limiting the reach of the United States in Antarctica.
M) Scholars warn that Antarctica’s political drift could blur the distinction between military and civilian activities long before the continent’s treaties come up for renegotiation, especially in parts of Antarctica that are ideal for intercepting(拦截) signals from satellites or retasking satellite systems, potentially enhancing global electronic intelli
gence operations.
徐冠巨配菜师 N) Some countries have had a hard time here, Brazil opened a rearch station in 1984, but it was largely destroyed by a fire that killed two members of the navy in 2012, the same year that a diel-laden Brazilian barge sank near the ba. As if that were not enough. a Brazilian C-130 Hercules military transport plane has remained stranded near the runway of Chile’s air ba here since it crash-landed in 2014.
O) However, Brazil’s stretch of misfortune has created opportunities for China, with a Chine company winning the $100 million contract in 2015 to rebuild the Brazilian station.
P) Amid all the changes, Antarctica maintains its allure. South Korea opened its cond Antarctic rearch ba in 2014, describing it as a way to test robots developed by Korean rearchers for u in extreme conditions. With Russia’s help, Belarus is preparing to build this first Antarctic ba. Colombia said this year that it planned to join other South American nations with bas in Antarctica.
Q) “The old days of the Antarctic being dominated by the interests and wishes of white
未完成的梦
men from European. Australasian and North American states are over.” Said Klaus Dodds, a politics scholar at the University of London who specialis in Antarctica. “The reality is that Antarctica is geopolitically contested.”
36. According to Chine officials, their activities in Antarctica lay greater emphasis on scientific rearch.
37. Efforts to create one of the world’s largest ocean sanctuaries failed becau of Russia’s obstruction.
38. With veral monitoring stations operating in Antarctica, Russia is trying hard to counter America’s dominance in the field of worldwide navigational facilities.
39. According to geologists’ estimates. Antarctica has enormous rerves of oil and natural gas.
40. It is estimated that Antarctica boasts of the richest rerves of fresh water on earth.
41. The demand for energy resources may compel renegotiation of Antarctica’s treaties before their expiration.
42. Many countries are racing against each other to increa their business and strategi
c influence on Antarctica.
43. Antarctica’s harsh natural conditions constitute huge obstacles to the exploitation of its resources.
44. With competition from many countries, Antarctica is no longer dominated by the traditional white nations.
45. American scientists complain about lack of sufficient money and equipment for their expansion in Antarctica.
