Living in the Ice Age
I am a scientist and I arrived here in Antarctica three months ago in December. The temperature is cold but not unpleasant yet. Since arriving, I have worked with about 60 other people getting everything ready for the Antarctica winter. It's been a lot of hard work, but it was fun too. However, a few days ago the ship left, taking most of the staff with it, and it won't be back to fetch us until next December. So the hardest thing to get used to is that there are now just fourteen of us because I'm used to working in a large company.
I'm living on the same work station I was on ten years ago. It was new then and it's still in good condition and unchanged. The dried food we get is also the same - you forget what real food tastes like after a few weeks. The people working here with me are all different from then, but I'm always happy getting to know new people. Ten years ago, we were all able to send faxes to friends and family once a month, but today we can send emails and talk on the phone so we don't feel so far away.

The History of Pizza: From Naples to the World
Pizza is a traditional Italian dish that has become one of the most popular foods in the world. While you can find it in almost every country today, its true history began in Italy many years ago. Naples, a large city in the south of Italy, is widely considered the birthplace of pizza. This city is famous for its delicious recipes and high-quality ingredients. In 1830, the world’s first official pizzeria, named "Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba," opened its doors there.
Before the modern version existed, the ancestor of pizza was a simple flatbread. For a long time, this was a cheap and easy meal sold on the streets to poor people who needed a quick bite to eat. It was not considered a dish for royalty until a special event in 1889. That year, Queen Margherita went on a trip to Naples and asked to try the local food she had heard so much about.
The city’s most famous pizza maker, Don Raffaele Esposito, was invited to cook for her. He prepared three different pizzas: two were old, traditional recipes, but the third one was a new creation. It was topped with red tomatoes, white Mozzarella cheese, and green fresh basil. The Queen loved this new pizza because the colors reminded her of the Italian flag. This famous dish was later named "Margherita" in her honor. Today, pizza continues to evolve with thousands of different toppings across the globe.
The city of Naples was the first place to have a building specifically for selling pizza.
In its early history, flatbread pizza was mainly eaten by rich and royal families.
Don Raffaele Esposito prepared a total of three pizzas for Queen Margherita to taste.
Queen Margherita liked the new pizza because it was the only one that used traditional Italian bread.
The original Margherita pizza contained ingredients representing the red, white, and green colors of the flag.
