“What was all that loud banging last night?... whoa!….”
“Hang onto the rail! That was the sound of waves
crashing against the ship. The banging has stopped, but
we’re still rocking. The Captain says it’s not safe to
go out on the deck right now.”

“Wow! Look at that walls of snow. It must snow a lot here in Antarctica.”
“That was a great tour. Now let’s take a look
around outside.”
“Actually, Antarctica is a desert. It only gets about 2 inches of
snow/rain per year. It just doesn’t melt much from year to year. So it
piles up.”
But only 36,500 people are estimated to visit Antarctica.
An estimated 17,000,000 people will visit Disney World’s Magic Kingdom this year.
