(A)

         A 12-man Chinese team landed on the Antarctic icecap peak on January 18. They are the first people to reach the peak of Dome A (海穹) . It is 4 ,039 metres above sea level (海拔) .

         The team built a station there to study the changes of the weather,get ice samples （樣本) from 150 metres to 200 metres below,and do other studies. So far,the team has got nearly 100-metre-long ice samples from a place about 300 metres under the icecap peak.

         It is the first time that people have been able to get samples from the icecap peak in Antarctic and it is very important for people to study the weather changes and environmental changes in this area.

         The Chinese scientists have also built a weather study system (系統(tǒng)) at the peak. The system can send out information about temperature,how ^strong the wind is,and many other things about the weather.

         The Antarctic icecap makes up 70% of the earth's freshwater. By studying Dome A. scientists can get the lowest temperature of the earth and other information about the world^，s weather changes. We can't get this information from other places on the earth because Dome A is the best place for this kind of studies. So it is very important to land on the peak of Dome A.
