[00:20:44]the very top of the Earth.
世界之巔
[00:23:43]Up here, it's easy to see
為何極地地區(qū)如此寒冷
[00:26:15]why the polar regions are so cold.
身臨其境時(shí) 體會更加深刻
[00:29:22]The sun never rises high enough in the sky to warm my back
太陽的直射角度很小 鮮有陽光照射下來
[00:35:11]and those rays that do strike the surface
而即使光線到達(dá)了地表
