Best Answer

The extreme coldness of Antarctica can be mitigated by breathing through materials that help warm the ambient air before it reaches the lungs. 'Special masks' or breathing through materials is strictly optional for the temporary workers and scientists who work there.

What are special talent?

A special talent is a talent that not many other people have. For example, if someone could breathe for 10 minutes underwater just in one breathe, that could be considered as a special talent. If you can hold your breathe for 5 seconds however, this wouldn't be considered as a special talent because a lot of other people can do that too. Hope that helps!
