4、nd sleeping quarters for 150 people. Not to be outdone, India’s futuristic new Bharathi base, built on stills(桩子)using 134 interlocking shipping containers, resembles a spaceship. Turkey and Iran have announced plans to build bases, too. B) More than a century has passed since explorers raced
5、to plant their flags at the bottom of the world, and for decades to come this continent is supposed to be protected as a scientific preserve, shielded from intrusions like military activities and mining . But an array of countries are rushing to assert greater influence here, with an eye not just to
6、wards the day those 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 house of resources.

And even before then, scholars warn, the demand for resources in an energy-hungry world could raise pressure to renegotiate
15、Antarctica’s treaties, possibly allowing more commercial endeavours here well before the prohibitions against them expire. The research stations on King George lsland offer a glimpse into the long game on this ice-blanketed continent as nations assert themselves, eroding the sway long held by

19、 scientific research. But they also acknowledge that concerns about “resource security” influence their moves. K) China’s newly renovated Great Wall Station on King George lsland makes the Russian and Chilean bases here seem outdated. ”We do weather monitoring here and other research.” Ning Xu
