उत्तर
I can’t thank my stars enough for having cashed in on the opportunity of being part of this adventure trip to Antarctica, called the “Students on Ice” program. It was an exciting and unforgettable decision to participate in the program, and I can call it the best decision I have ever made in my life. This programme helped me learn a lot, which became possible only after being a part of the “Students on Ice” team. The landscape was not inhabited by humans, and hence, the absolute difference can be seen in Antarctica. Unfortunately, things are changing due to environmental pollution. This journey to Antarctica serves as a warning to preserve our precious planet. Therefore, in order to protect our future generations, we need to take care of the planet. I will never forget that particular moment.
