“What is your name?”
“It’s called dumplings. It’s a little smaller than Empanada, but the shape is very similar.”

On New Year’s Day, the crew at the base in Korea made dumplings.
It was also food for me and Lee Jang-woo.
The moment I ate the empanada, I remembered that time.
“If you harvest sprouted vegetables, I think it would be good to put them in the empanada.”
“I strongly agree!”
Diana raised her voice.
Lee Jang-woo was surprised by how loud his voice was, so he missed Empanada.
She smiled and told her colleagues.
“The empanadas that Carlos makes are a bit gritty. If you add sprouted vegetables, I think the greasy feeling will disappear a bit.”
At her words, her colleagues grabbed their belly button and laughed.
Carlos glared at Diena with his claws.

The work at the Chilean base proceeded quickly.
We completed the hydroponic plant in a week.
The sprouted vegetables were sprouting leaves.
We made the best equipment with insufficient equipment.
All processes were recorded with a video camera.
“I think this should be enough.”
“The rest of the week is just observation.”
“I think that would be it. Now take a break.”
I tapped Lee Jang-woo on the shoulder. It was a mechanical device that could not have been made without him.
It was time to go home after dinner.
Captain Benjamin called quietly.
“What’s going on?”
“I contacted Mohammad. We also told stories about hydroponics and Mr. Deokmyeong.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mohammad Salah is the person Benjamin decided to introduce.
As the Prince of Dubai, he had a relationship with the United Nations Environment Programme.
“Mohammad showed great interest in Mr. Deokmyeong.”
That’s good news.
I listened to him.
“I also heard some surprising news.”
“What news?”
“Mohammad is in Antarctica.”
“Are you in Antarctica?”
ears perked up
“Where are you?”
Where was more important than what?
Antarctica is not a small place.
“I’m at an American base now.”
The US base boasted the largest base in Antarctica.
“For reference, I am going to an American base soon.”
A twinkle flew in Benjamin’s eyes.
He seemed to know his heart just by looking at his eyes.
He was saying that he would let him meet Mohammad soon.
glacier ice cream
Captain Benjamin kept his promise. He didn’t know that the opportunity would come so soon.
Coincidentally, Dubai’s Prince Mohammad Salah was in Antarctica.
He is a former member of the United Nations Environment Programme.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Now, he was transformed into a successful businessman based on enormous wealth.
The reason I came to Antarctica was to visit the environmental group ‘Earth’.
‘Earth’ is an environmental organization that protects Antarctica and has been sponsored by Mohammad for a long time.
I reported the news to Lee Jang-woo.
“I think I need to go out for a while.”
“Where are you going from here?”
Lee Jang-woo has a confused face. Going out in Antarctica is unthinkable.
“I’m going to Antarctica, where the US base is located.”
“Antarctic Continent?”
Exactly where we are, Antarctica is not.
King George Island was a small island adjacent to Antarctica.
The US base was located in Antarctica.
I told Lee Jang-woo that I had the opportunity to meet Mohammad Salah.
“The rich are different. I go to Antarctica casually.”
“That’s it.”
“I hope you take this opportunity well.”
Lee Jang-woo clenched his fist.
“At the same time, Captain Benjamin said he was going to the US base. to go together.”
“If that’s the case, you can go there.”
“You will have to see the hydroponic plant for yourself.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be watching you.”

The next morning, Captain Benjamin and his party headed to the Chilean Air Base.
Captain Benjamin’s reason for going to the US base was to attend a meeting of the parties to the Antarctic Treaty Convention.
Delegates from 29 countries based in Antarctica attended the meeting.
Several agendas will be discussed, including exploration of Antarctic biomass and special protected areas.

Of the 29 countries, Korea is also included.
Besides Captain Benjamin, there was another companion.
This is Diena, the penguin teacher.
she sat next to me
“I am Mr. Deokmyung’s guide.”
She said, revealing her white teeth.
He was also considerate of Captain Benjaman. He gave me someone to stay with me while I was attending the meeting.
It was because I had a lot of spare time before I met Mohammad Salah.
Diana will be your companion while you wait.
It took over 4 hours to get from the Chilean base to the US base. It wasn’t a short distance.
The US station was the largest of the Antarctic observation stations.
When I arrived at the US base, Benjamin took me first.
“I will contact you after the meeting is over. You will only be able to see Mohammad in the evening. Diana knows this place well. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time.”
Captain Benjamin and I broke up at the airport.
As Benjamin disappeared, Diena opened her arms.
“Honestly, I was a little excited when I heard that he was coming to the US base.”
“Is there anything special here?”
“There is something very special about it.”
Diana looked me in the eye and said. Eyes like a naughty dog
“what is that?”
“Follow me and you will know.”
I followed her into the US base.
I never thought it was a place like this.
Antarctica USA base was a small town. The Korean and Chilean bases had only research facilities, but the American base was different.
There was even a famous franchise coffee shop.
I opened my eyes and said.
“It’s like a village, not a base.”
“There will be over 100 buildings here alone. Even calling it a small town would be an understatement.”
Diana entered the small shop. The sign had the shape of Antarctica drawn on it.
There were quite a few people in the store.
I was astonished to see what people were eating.
“Isn’t it ice cream that people are eating?”
Diana dragged me to the counter without saying a word.
A white man was guarding the counter.
He looked at my face and said at once.
“You are here again.”
“yes?”
This is the first place I come to.
He treated me like a guest from yesterday.
A name tag was affixed to his chest.
his name is michael
“Michael is like that.”
Diana said in a whisper.
“What flavor would you like?”
There was only one menu.

Only glacier ice cream.
I couldn’t even choose a taste.
A man named Michael was a complete geek.
“Two outlines of glacial ice cream.”
Diana shouted bingo.
“Here came two glacier ice cream.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Michael handed him the ice cream, blinking like a sheep.
Glacier ice cream in a white paper cup.
The shape of Antarctica is engraved into the paper cup as a symbol.
Ice cream is as white as snow.
In appearance alone, it is similar to the condensed milk ice cream from the Jirisan Ranch.
I took an ice cream and sat down with Diena.
“It’s ice cream made from Antarctic glaciers. The taste is very special. Try it.”
She said while eating ice cream. happy face It was like he was born to eat glacial ice cream.
I also tasted the glacial ice cream.
The ice cream melted like snow in your mouth.
The taste was strange rather than special.
I feel like I’ve entered Antarctica in one bite.
“Is it delicious?”
“yes. Very tasty. Somehow, it tastes like Antarctica.”
She smiled for a while without eating the ice cream.
Diana emptied the ice cream and said.
“Now it’s time to move on to the next course. It’s my second favorite place.”
Antarctica USA base is a strange place the more you look at it. It was more like a tourist attraction than a base.
In fact, there were civilians living inside the US base.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Michael, who sells ice cream, is also a civilian living here.
Diana stopped in front of the Antarctic Inn.
“As Deok-myung knows, we cannot leave for the Chilean base today. We need accommodation.”
I heard from Captain Benjamin that he was going to spend the night at the US base. Naturally, I thought it was a dormitory inside the base.
Being an Antarctic Inn, it exceeded my expectations.
I went into the inn with her. A warm feeling was felt inside.

On the way to the counter, a large dog ran at me.
It is not a threatening behavior. nice greetings
I stroked my head and back.
At first glance it looked like a Siberian Husky, but upon closer inspection, it is an Alaskan Malamute.
There was a name tag on the dog’s neck that read Loki.
“Normal people are afraid, but Deokmyeong is different.”
Diana said, touching the dog’s neck.
“I played with dogs a lot when I was young.”
Loki followed me to the front of my room. He seems to be eager to play.
* * *
I lay flat on the bed.
It’s the first time I’ve been alone since I came to Antarctica.
It’s been a long time since I’ve entered a room alone instead of a double room.
Diana also said she wanted to take a break.
It’s time to drink a glass of water when you’re thirsty.
There was a computer above the table. A webcam was also mounted above the monitor.
It has been a long time since I had an opportunity to use the Internet with my mind.
When I tried to turn on the power, a notice appeared.
[Be sure to contact the lobby before turning on the computer]
I called the lobby as instructed.
“I will meet you kindly. Antarctic Inn. How can I help you?”
“I want to use the internet. I saw a message asking you to contact me before use.”
“I will guide you on the internet rate. The fee is $10 per minute.”
“Ten dollars a minute?”
I checked again, but got the same answer.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
More than 10,000 won per minute in Korean Won. It’s definitely a bubbly price.
The reason the price is high is because it is a one-time trading. The Antarctic Inn is only open in summer.
It is said to be closed in winter when the polar night approaches.
It was a huge fee, but I couldn’t help it.
I hung up the phone and turned on the computer.
I sent an email to Han Gi-tak. It’s about making a video call.
A reply came right away.
When I turned on the webcam, Han Gi-tak appeared on the screen.
“What is going on at this hour? I just told you to go to sleep.”
He rubbed his sleepy eyes.
Unlike Antarctica, which is noon, it is midnight in Korea.
“Sorry. I had no intention of disturbing you.”
“Because you have already disturbed me.”
Han Ki-tak said with a smile.
“By the way, where are you? I don’t think it’s a base?”
“It’s an Antarctic Inn.”
“Is there an inn in Antarctica?”
he asked with a sleepy face.
I told him the story of my coming to the Antarctic Inn. When the story about Mohammad came out, he looked shocked.
“Are you going to meet the Prince of Dubai? Is that true?”
“It’s an opportunity for farmers in Jirisan to expand to the world.”
“Farmers in Jirisan are doing well in Korea.”
“What happened while I was away?”
