mengumpulkan data penting tentang es yang mencair.En: Her goal was to collect crucial data on the melting ice.Id: Cuaca musim panas di Arktik memang menipu.En: The summer weather in the Arctic can be deceptive.Id: Meski hangat dibandingkan musim dingin, angin dingin masih bisa menusuk tulang.En: Although warm compared to the winter, the cold wind can still pierce through.Id: Ayu bersama dua rekan,

fragility of human limits.Id: Kini, dia melakukan pekerjaannya dengan lebih perhatian, memberikan ruang bagi kesehatan tubuh dan mentalnya.En: Now, she carries out her work with more attention,
