万万没想到！这些地方有Wifi

Mount Fuii 富士山

Mount Fuji now gets its own internet connection-and its not even the weirdest place in the world where you can send Facebook updates from. The Japanese government installed a wifi connection up the mountain， so that people can stay connected even as they ascend 14 and then come backdown.

Though the wifi connection has beenmocked as just a way of letting people post their celebratory Instagram snaps just a little earlier， it could actually keep those climbing the mountain safe. Theyll be able to look out for weather warnings and take shelter accordingly， and the wifi will let people call for help even if theyre out of range of a phone connection.

The wifi is available in a series of spots along the ascent， and protected with a special password. It Will only be free for the first 72 hours after people connect. Fuji joins a list of other places around the world-and aboveit-that have their own wifi connections.

富士山接上自己的網络了！在这里你可以更新Facebook啦！不过富士山甚至还不是世界上最不可思议的上网地点。日本政府给富士山安装了wifi。这样的话，即便是在上下山的过程中，人们也可以保持联系。

尽管有人嘲笑接网上山，认为这只够让人们提早一点把他们拍摄的欢快镜头传到Instagram上。不过，接网上山实际上还可以保证登山者的安全，他们可以留心天气警报，并相应地采取避难措施。此外，人们即使身处电话网络连接之外，也可以通过wifi求救。

在上山途中的一系列景点内，wifi均可用，且受到特殊密码的保护。连接后仅72小时内可免费使用。富士山已成为全球范围内拥有自身网络连接的地点之一。

Other mountains

其他山脉

Mount Qomolangma has had wifi since 2010， when a company installed hotspots on it. The highest hotspot on the mountain （and presumably the world） is 17，000 feet up， at the last basecamp that people visit before they make their last push for the top.

2010年，一间公司在珠穆朗玛峰（ Mount Qomolangma）上安装了无线热点，从那时起，山上就有了wifi最高热点海拔为1.7万英尺（或为世界最高），位于人们向山顶发起最终冲剌时所建的最后营地处。

North Pole北极

One of the coldest places on Earth was quick to get a hotspot： the North Pole has been wired up for internet since 2005. Its very tough on computers to actually work some where so cold， and people arent actually there much of the time.

地球上最寒冷的地区却很快就装上了热点：北极在2005年时就接上了网络。不过电脑实际上很难在如此严寒的温度下运作，而事实上人们也不会在那里呆多久。

On donkeys in Israel以色列的小毛驴

An Israeli the me park called Kfar Kedem aims to show people what life was like in Galilee 2，000 years ago-they can make traditional food and milk goats， forinstance. But there are also donkeys with wifi hotspot sattached to them wandering round， if the old-style living gets a little much.

以色列一间名为克法凯登（ Kfar Kedem）的主题公园希望向人们展示2，000年前加利利（Galilee）地区的生活面貌。比如，（在这里）人们可以制作传统食物，还能挤羊奶。不过，如果旧式生活方式（体验）再多上一些的话，公园就会有装上WiFi热点的毛驴四处跑了。

In space太空

The International Space Station has the most distant internet connection in the world. The crew dont actually use the internet connection themselves-instead connecting to another computer on the ground that they can remotely control， using it to tweet among other things.

国际空间站是世界上距离最远的网络连接地点。空勤人员实际上自己并不使用网络——他们将网络与地面上的电脑连接，从而进行远程控制。除了工作之外，（太空网）还可以发送“推特”。

In the plane 飞机上

Reuters： Cyber security researcher Ruben Santamarta says he has figured out how to hack the satellitecom munications equipment on passenger jets through their WiFi and in flight entertainment systems-a claim that， if confirmed， could prompt a review of aircraft security.

據路透社报道，网络安全研究员鲁本·圣马尔塔表示，他发现了一种方法，可以通过飞机WIFI和机上娱乐系统入侵民航客机上的卫星通讯设备。如果该说法得到证实，将引发对飞机安全的重新审视。

Santamarta， a consultant15 with cyber security firm IOActive， is scheduled to lay out the technical details of his research at this weeks Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas， anannual convention16 where thousands of hackers and security experts meet to discuss emergingcyber threats and improve security measures.

鲁本圣马尔塔是美国网络安全IOActive公司的顾问，计划把他的研究技术细节在美国拉斯维加斯举行的黑帽技术大会上呈现出来。黑帽技术大会是一年一度黑客和网络专家的会面，讨论出现的网络威胁以及改进安全措施。

His presentation17 earlier this week on vulnerabilities18 in satellite communications systemsused in aerospace19 and other industries is expected to be one of the most widely watched at the conference.

本周初他的关于在空间和其他产业中卫星传递系统弱点的报告被预料是会议中最受关注的议题之一。
