一位知名法国探险家的儿子建了一座新的博物馆，旨在展示"极地景观之美"，说明气候变化的后果。
A new museum built by the son of a renowned French explorer aims to show "the beauty of polar landscapes" and illustrate the consequences of climate change.
这座博物馆位于法国东部，通讯主管安东尼·勒努称其是"世界上唯一一家专门介绍北极和南极的永久性博物馆"。
The museum in eastern France is "the only permanent museum devoted to the Arctic and Antarctic in the world," said communications director Anthony Renou.
该博物馆是法国极地探险家保罗-埃米尔·维克多的儿子、人类学家让-克里斯托夫·维克多和博物学家斯蒂芬·尼沃构想出的，外形是一座突出的冰山，埋在地下的部分占60%。
Built in the shape of a jutting iceberg and with 60% of its volume buried underground, the museum was conceived by anthropologist Jean-Christophe Victor - son of the French polar explorer Paul-Emile Victor - and Stephane Niveau, a naturalist.
一进入博物馆，参观者就陷入了一片雪白的世界：巨型电视屏幕上展示着冰盖，伴有严寒的暴风雪的呼啸。
Once inside, visitors are plunged into a world of intense white. Huge video screens show the ice caps amid the noise of an icy blizzard.
照片、极地探险物品和生态系统、海平面上升、土著民族等主题的视频展示使人犹处极地环境之中，揭示出全球变暖极易对极地环境造成破坏。
Photographs, items from polar expeditions and video presentations - on ecosystems, rising sea levels, indigenous peoples and other themes - bring the polar environment to life and expose its vulnerability to global warming.
该博物馆内部包括一个研究人员可以访问的文档中心，一个溜冰场以及一间会议厅。
The museum includes a documentation centre which is accessible to researchers, a skating rink and a conference hall.
负责管理该建筑物的当地政府希望这里每年可以吸引5--7万名游客。
The local authorities which manage the establishment hope to attract 50,000 to 70,000 visitors per year.
