Permits for Travelling to Antarctica
The Environmental Protocol of the Antarctic Treaty became law in 1998 after legislation in each of the member countries. One of the ways in which this protects Antarctica is by only allowing visitors to Antarctica by member nations as long as they are given a permit to do so. The granting of a permit is dependent on the visitors agreeing to adhere to certain rules and guidelines. Each nations rules are not the same in the detail, though they are similar in the general principles.
In Britain for example, the following activities require a permit from the Secretary of State for Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs:
British expeditions travelling to Antarctica.
British stations in Antarctica.
British registered vessels and aircraft going to Antarctica.
Mineral resource activities for scientific research or for certain construction purposes.
The taking of, or harmful interference with, fauna or flora.
The introduction of non-native animals or plants.
Entry into areas protected under the Protocol ( Antarctic Specially Protected Areas - ASPA) or under the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) (CEMP Monitoring Sites)

5. Translate the following passage from Russian into English.
До 1960-х некоторые виды китов и тюленей были на грани выживания из-за деятельности человека в Антарктике. Мусор и отходы оставлялись там, где и бросались, сжигались на кострах или выбрасывались в океан. Рыболовство не существовало или было в очень маленьком масштабе и было полностью нерегулируемым. С тех пор, как Антарктическая конвенция вступила в силу, все растения и животные в Антарктике защищаются и принимаются меры по предотвращению загрязнения этой первозданной среды.
Существует много резолюций и принято много мер по защите Антарктики, ее фауны и флоры. Например, ни одна птица или млекопитающее Антарктики не может быть убито или отловлено без официального разрешения, которое выдается только для научных целей. Учреждены особо охраняемые зоны, которые представляют научный интерес. Тюлени, в частности, защищены конвенцией 1972 года, разработанной, чтобы предотвратить истребление тюленей. Все шесть видов тюленей в Антарктике защищены законом.
Запрещены выбросы в море в зоне действия Антарктической конвенции всех токсичных и ядовитых химикатов, нефти и нефтяных отходов, пластмассы и других форм неразлагающихся отбросов. Выбросы других отходов, таких как мусор с кораблей и баз строго контролируется
