北極每年都吸引着成千上万的游客来参观当地的野生动物和美妙的景观，同时体验 当地文化。

The icy beauty of the Arctic attracts thousands of visitors every year to see its wonderful wildlife， landscape and local cultures. Visitors can take ships on a voyage along the Arctic Ocean or take flights to cities along the Arctic edge. No matter how one gets there， they should wear warm clothes and get ready to take in the attractions.

'"Travelling to the Arctic leaves an unforgettable impression on the visitors. Its vast expanse and the fragility （脆弱）of its environment are two things that really blow away people，"said Cheryl Rosa， the director of the US Arctic Research Commission.

Visitors to the Arctic Circle will have a lot of activities to choose from if they want to see all that the region has to offer. Hiking with snowshoes， dog sledding （雪橇）and kayaking （皮艇9动）are

com?mon activities. Visitors with sharp eyes are likely to spot polar bears. To get even closer to the animals of the sea， visitors can go polar snorkeling （潜泳） with seals. Of course， Arctic adventures aren't com?plete without viewing the wonders of the Arctic Cir- cle"s large glaciers and icebergs as well.

One of the most impressive attractions and maybe the most difficult to see is the Northern Lights， one of the seven natural wonders of the world. They are natural lights that glow a brilliant green and light up the horizon. Sometimes they appear as waves that dance across the sky in different colors.

The best places to view the Northern Lights are in Northern Norway， Sweden"s Abisko National Park， Iceland， America's Alaska or Canada's Yukon， according to space&com.
