Id: Langit berwarna abu-abu kelabu membentang di atas tundra Arktik yang luas dan putih.
En: The grayish sky stretched over the vast, white Arctic tundra.

Id: Angin menggigit menghantam wajah Dewi, seorang ilmuwan iklim dari Indonesia, saat dia memimpin tim ekspedisi menuju lokasi pengambilan data yang jauh.
En: The biting wind struck Dewi's face, a climate scientist from Indonesia, as she led the expedition team to a far-off data collection site.

Id: Bersamanya, ada Anwar, teknisi berbakat, dan Siti, ahli biologi penuh semangat.
En: With her were Anwar, a talented technician, and Siti, an enthusiastic biologist.

Id: Musim gugur telah tiba, tetapi di Arktik, musim ini tidak berbeda jauh dengan musim dingin.
En: Autumn had arrived, but in the Arctic, this season was not much different from winter.

En: They were there to study the impact of climate change, specifically on the melting of permafrost.

Id: Selama perjalanan, Dewi tak henti-hentinya meragukan kemampuannya.

Id: "Apa aku bisa memimpin mereka dengan baik?
En: "Can I lead them well?"

Id: " pikirnya dalam hati.
En: she wondered to herself.

En: However, she knew this mission was incredibly important.

Id: Data dari sini bisa membantu memahami lebih lanjut tentang perubahan iklim dan usaha pemulihannya.

Id: Suatu pagi, saat badai salju semakin buruk, peralatan mereka mengalami kerusakan.
En: One morning, as the snowstorm worsened, their equipment malfunctioned.

Id: Anwar berusaha keras memperbaiki alat pengukur suhu, sementara Siti mengumpulkan sampel tanah.
En: Anwar worked hard to repair the temperature gauges, while Siti collected soil samples.

Id: Sementara itu, Dewi memandang timnya dengan cemas.
En: Meanwhile, Dewi watched her team anxiously.

Id: "Apakah kita harus mundur?
En: "Should we retreat?"

Id: " tanyanya pada diri sendiri.
En: she asked herself.

Id: Tapi, hatinya berbisik lain, "Satu dorongan terakhir.
En: But her heart whispered otherwise, "One more push.

Id: Kita bisa melakukannya.
En: We can do it."

Id: "Dewi mengumpulkan keberanian dan menyapa timnya, "Teman-teman, kita hampir sampai.
En: Dewi gathered her courage and addressed her team, "Friends, we're almost there.

Id: Aku tahu cuaca tak bersahabat, tapi mari kita berusaha sekali lagi.
En: I know the weather is unfriendly, but let's give it one more try."

Id: " Anwar dan Siti mengangguk, semangat mereka membuat Dewi merasa lebih percaya diri.
En: Anwar and Siti nodded, their enthusiasm bolstering Dewi's confidence.

En: As they reached the data collection site, the storm became more terrifying.

Id: Salju berputar-putar dan angin meraung.
En: Snow swirled, and the wind roared.
