100 years of Antarctica discovery


Norway's prime minister and several hundred scientists and adventurers have gathered at the South Pole to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen's first successful expedition to the world's most southerly point.

The sound of skis on snow as a group of Norwegians take the final few steps to the southern pole.Not everyone could make it - bad weather had delayed some of those trying to cross the ice and others resorted to planes to make the centenary celebrations.Amundsen and four other men were the first to reach the southern tip of the planet on December 14th 1911, usingsledges, dogs and skis.The Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg, who arrived by plane ahead of the celebrations, said the 1911 expedition was "one of the mostoutstanding achievements of mankind", and helped to form his country's national identity.He also paid tribute to the ill-fated British team led by Robert Scott who Amundsen beat to the pole.They had shown "courage and determination", he said, "in reaching one of the most inhospitable places on earth", and had paid the"ultimate price" after they died on the return journey.

Reading


BBC Türkçe stesinden aldığım bazı İngilizce haberleri de sizinle paylaşmaya karar verdim. Bu haberlerde bazı kelime ve deyimlere de yer veriliyor. Reading için önemli olduğunu düşünüyorum :)


Putin's party loses support in polls

The Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has suffered an unexpected setback in parliamentary elections. His party, United Russia, has won just under 50% of the vote.

For Vladimir Putin this is uncharted territory. He's grown used to being Russia's most popular and powerful politician - completely in control. But his political party has stuttered at the polls.

United Russia will remain the largest single party in the new parliament but it will have fewer seats. Its share of the vote has dropped from 64% to around 50%. And that amid widespread allegations of vote rigging in favour of the ruling party.

That will come as an embarrassment to Mr Putin, just three months before he runs again for Russian president. He's almost certain to win the presidential election next March.

But the parliamentary poll reflects a growing fatigue with a leader who has dominated the Russian political stage for more than a decade.

Steve Rosenberg, BBC News, Moscow
