Antarctica is a continent capped by an inland ice sheet up to 4.8km thick, containing approximately 90 percent of the world's total surface fresh water and 60 percent of the world's total fresh water. The ice sheet is so heavy that it has pushed the land below sea level in places.

$On hiking trail to Yubeng 2003. Yubeng has become a famous tourist destination. However, Chuka Lake, remains a difficult place for ordinary tourists to reach.\nChuka Lake is located in the Yubeng beside the Menzim Peak (goddess peak) snow mountain halfway, 4400 m asl, is the Yubeng villager's sacred lake. Because the altitude is too high and the snow is very thick in winter and spring, the villagers only come to worship the sacred lake in summer.\nAt the beginning of this May, with a guide, we trekked and crawled through the snow to reach Chunka Sacred Lake.
