1级01-08.世界上最冷的地方.The.Coldest.Place.On.Earth6-9 Chapter 6 A Bad Start 　 　　On August 23rd，the Norwegianssledges were ready．They took them outside，and the dogs pulled them across me ice．The sun came up for half an hour，but it was too cold：－46°Centigrade．They could not travel in that weather．They went back to Framheim and waited． 　　They waited two weeks，until September 8th．Then，with the temperature at－37°Centigrade，they started．They ran happily across the snow to the south—eight men，seven sledges，and eighty-six dogs．Only 　　Lindstrom，the cook，stayed behind in Framheim． 　　At first everything went well．They went twenty-eight kilo-metres on Saturday，and twenty-eight kilometres on Sunday．It was easy．Then，on Monday，the temperature went down—to －56°Centigrade．There was white fog in front of their faces．They couldnt see anything．But they travelled twenty-eight kilometres． 　　That night，in their tents，they nearly died of cold．Next day，they stopped and made snow houses．Inside the snow houses，it was warm．But everyone was unhappy． 　　I told you，Roald！Johansen said．Even September is too early！We cant travel in this cold．Do you want us to die？ Lets go back and wait for better weather． 　　Amundsen was very angry．He was angry with Johansen，buthe was angry with himself，too．He knew Johansen was right． 　　All right，he said slowly．We can go on to the depot at 80°South，leave the food there，and then go back．We cant do more than that． 　　It was thirty-seven kilometres to the depot．The wind was in their faces all day．Two dogs died on the way．At the depot，they did not stop．They put out the food and the flags，turned round，and went north． 　　At last the wind was behind them．The dogs ran quickly，and the men sat on the empty sledges．They went faster and faster．It was like a race．Amundsen was on Wistings sledge，and soon he，Wisting，and Hanssen were three or four kilometres in front．Soon they were alone．They travelled seventy-five kilo-metres in nine hours，and they reached Framheim at
