7 At the end of the 20th century, scientists, using satellite images, discovered one of the biggest subglacial lakes of our planet. It is situated close to the South Pole under 4km of ice. Because the ice acts as a gigantic insulator and keeps the extreme cold of the surface off, the natural heat of the earth is suffi cient to keep the water from freezing. At the surface of the ice cover is a Russian base of the same name, where in 1983 the coldest temperature ever measured on earth was registered (-89ºC). What’s the name of the lake? Hint: This name in Russian means East.

8 Today, there is a Turkish town called Truva in the vicinity of the archaeological site, but this town has grown up recently to service the tourist trade. This site was once a city, legendary and factual located in what is now northwest Turkey. A large number of tourists visit the site each year, mostly coming from Istanbul by bus or by ferry via Çanakkale, the nearest major town about 50 km to the north-east. The visitor sees a highly commercialised site, with a large wooden horse built as a playground for children, then shops and a museum. The archaeological site itself is, “a ruin of a ruin”, because the site has been frequently excavated.
What is the name of the city ?
